A friend of the teenage girl at the centre of the Adam Johnson trial in the UK has described the footballer as a "bit of a paedophile".
The unnamed witness told Bradford Crown Court that she had not believed her friend (15) who had told her that she had had sexual contact with the former England, Sunderland and Manchester City winger.
"Why would he? He's a bit of a paedophile if he's going for a 15...kids and that," she said, also adding that her friend had shown her messages from the 28-year-old footballer.
Johnson has already pleaded guilty to two charges: One count of sexual activity with a child and one count of grooming, involving kissing and "touching the victim's body in sexual way".
The court also heard that the former footballer had a secret Snapchat account to prevent his girlfriend, Stacey Flounders, from becoming aware of his activities.
