Adam Johnson, the England footballer suspected of having sex with a 15­year­old girl, was
arrested after the teenager boasted she was in a relationship with him and her father found out,
the Telegraph can reveal.
The Sunderland winger was ​detained on Monday​ morning at his £1.85 million home after
Durham Police received a complaint from the schoolgirl’s father.

2. It is understood the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had boasted of her alleged
liaison with the 27­year­old footballer to friends and on social media.
It has also emerged that Johnson has posed for pictures with the girl.
When her father was made aware of the rumours he went to the police and Johnson was
arrested and questioned for several hours.
Adam Johnson will not play for Sunderland against Hull on Tuesday.
The player, who has had 12 caps for England, has since been suspended by Sunderland AFC,
pending the outcome of the investigation.
Johnson’s partner, Stacey Flounders, is reported to have given birth to their daughter just seven
weeks ago.
Her mother has defended the former Middlesbrough and Manchester City star insisiting they are
standing by him as he is "100 per cent innocent".
She told the Daily Mirror: “"They are still very close and are absolutely still together. He is 100
per cent innocent and we will stand by him. He hasn't been found guilty of anything.
“He is a great lad and has not done anything wrong. This is a horrible situation.”
A statement from Sunderland said: “Sunderland AFC has confirmed that Adam Johnson has
been suspended from the club, pending the outcome of a police investigation. No further
comment will be made at the present time."
Johnson had been due to travel with the rest of the squad to Humberside on Monday afternoon
for Tuesday night's Barclays Premier League fixture at Hull, a vital match in the battle to avoid
relegation to the Championship.
