Former "Manchester City", "Sunderland" and England national football team player Adam Johnson's life is simply slipping away. Not to mention that he is being tried in a pedophilia case, on Thursday, his long-time girlfriend and mother of his child announced in court that she is divorcing this unemployed 28-year-old footballer.
Stacey Flounders and A.Johnson had been together since 2012, and in January of last year they had a child. It was then that A.Johnson got involved in a pedophilia scandal, which has recently come to light.
A.Johnson was charged with three offenses, but he denied two of them and admitted to only one. He denied having sexual intercourse with a girl under 16, but admitted to sexually touching her.
In England, this is considered pedophilia. The court has already heard from the victim, A.Johnson, and is now hearing S.Flounders's testimony.
The girl that A.Johnson sexually touched adored "Sunderland", where A.Johnson had played recently. He was her favorite player. The victim worked as a ticket checker at the club and always waited for footballers at the stadium gates.
A.Johnson and the girl met and quickly started dating on January 17, 2015 - A.Johnson then left his fiancee Stacey Flounders waiting at home.
Meeting the girl, A.Johnson gave her his autographed underwear. "I at least hoped for a kiss for the underwear," wrote A.Johnson.
After two weeks, they met again because the girl wanted to thank her idol. "Will I get just a kiss?" he asked.
"It depends on what you want," the girl answered.
"It depends on what you're prepared for," he flirted.
They kissed and touched each other next time they met, and A.Johnson tried to take off the girl's jeans, but she stopped him.
Meanwhile, while all this was happening, S.Flounders sent him a photo of their child.
"He's wonderful," replied A.Johnson, right after trying to sexually exploit a minor.
After a while, A.Johnson wrote to her: "It wasn't bad. You could have let me take off the jeans." "Next time," she replied.
When rumors spread in school that the girl had had sexual intercourse with A.Johnson, she broke up with the player and went to court.
Prosecutors rejected all of A.Johnson's justifications that he didn't know the girl's age. This is evident from their correspondence.
The trial is ongoing, and A.Johnson faces several years in prison and the end of his career. He represented his country 12 times in the national team.
