Read the full story ›Adam Johnson was arrested over extreme pornography
Adam Johnson's jailing means it can now be reported the former England footballer was also arrested for possessing extreme pornography.
Images, thought to be of a "jokey nature" but bestiality-related, were found on his computer.
The arrest was mentioned in hearings at Durham Crown Court prior to Johnson's trial for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
Durham Police confirmed he has now been released from his bail in relation to the extreme pornography matter and no further action will be taken.
The pre-trial hearings also heard how police found medicines in a safe when Johnson was arrested which indicated he may have been suffering from sexually transmitted infections.

Adam Johnson trial had a 'devastating effect' on victim
The Adam Johnson trial had a "devastating effect" on his victim, the Crown Prosecution Service said after he was jailed for six years.
The former Sunderland player "exploited a young star-struck fan, actively grooming her over a number of months in single-minded pursuit of his own sexual gratification", the CPS added.
He gave no thought to this girl’s interests or welfare during that time or at any point since, repeatedly denying any wrongdoing for nearly 11 months until his trial began.
We should all be clear that there is only one victim in this case, the 15-year-old girl he sexually assaulted.
This situation had a devastating effect on the young victim and it is my sincere hope that she and her family will be granted the respect and space they deserve, to recover and rebuild their lives.
