The Sunderland winger will appear at Durham Crown Court next month after he was bailed on underage sex charges.
Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has been bailed after appearing in magistrates' court to answer three underage sex charges.
England international Johnson, who last month was charged with three counts of sexual activity with a girl under the age of 16 and one count of sexual grooming, appeared at Peterlee Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The case was adjourned with Johnson released on conditional bail to appear at Durham Crown Court on June 3.
Former Manchester City and Middlesbrough player Johnson was arrested back in March on suspicion of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl and subsequently bailed.
