Somewhat inevitably, there have been a whole lot more Adam Johnson jokes after he pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one charge of grooming.
BBC News report that the Sunderland winger also denied two charges of sexual activity with a girl aged under 16 as he appeared at Bradford Crown Court today, before the case is formally opened on Friday.
Judge Jonathan Rose told the jury:
You may see reference to this in the press but it’s the evidence in court that you will gather.
This defendant has already pleaded guilty to two offences, you will hear more about them in detail when Miss Blackwell opens the case to you on Friday.
It will be for you and only you to determine if he is guilty or not guilty.
Shocked by the dramatic events in court, Twitter was full of many more Adam Johnson jokes:
Mate. RT @kanyewest ADAM JOHNSON INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
