Adam Johnson is back on the stand today.
The footballer has been giving more evidence in his trial on charges of sexual activity with a child, including details of his grooming habits around his groin.
Johnson, 28, has already admitted one charge of sexual activity with a 15-year-old Sunderland fan and anothe rof grooming, but denies two more serious counts of sexual activity.
During further questioning by his defence counsel, jurors at Bradford Crown Court were shown a picture taken by Johnson of his groin, which he claimed was to show a doctor.
Johnson was then asked about his grooming habits ‘down below’…
Johnson had earlier conceded that he had lied to police about his relationship with the girl, who he has accepted that he met on two occasions, the second of which is the incident where they kissed, but the former Sunderland midfielder denies her claims of more serious activity, including oral sex.
Johnson told the police that he had not been aware of the girl’s age when in fact he had, and also about the content of messages between the pair, as he thought that she had been deleting their conversations as he had requested.
Johnson says he "panicked" in police interview and worried about what sex texts "may sound like I'd done"

Johnson also denied that he was interested in a proposed third meeting, despite the girl telling friends she would have ‘full sex’ at that time.
Johnson is being cross-examined by the prosecution as the trial continues.
