Where's everyone watching the sentencing? Didn't think uk courts did live in-court broadcasts?

Josh Halliday tweeting from the courtroom - this Judge is being brutal. He's going way down - says only considering a 10% reduction in sentence...

"cat 1a offence - the most serious of its type"

confused how can fingering her (this is what were lead to believe he did) be actually worse than have full sex? I'm a bit confused.

LOL. Never heard a judge described like that before. They do enjoy the drama, though. ;)

Adam Johnson's crimes were the most serious of their type, the judge says.

Judge Jonathan Rose says his offences were category 1A, the most serious.

He says "there is an abuse of trust, you are trusted by young fans to behave properly".

 

[york away to this!]

Always told you he could string a sentence together...
