Freed paedophile Adam Johnson flashes £100k watch on dog walk with sister

Paedophile ex-soccer star Adam Johnson swaggers free after serving his time – wearing a £100,000 designer watch.

Despite his three years behind bars, our exclusive pictures show Johnson, 31, still loves footballers’ trademark bling.

He sported a luxury Richard Mille timepiece – one of the most expensive on the planet – to take the dogs for a walk.

Even the Fresh Ego Kids tracksuit bottoms he pulled on for a stroll through fields with sister Faye, 25, were worth £100.

A source said: “To look at Johnson now, you’d never know he’d been inside. His victim’s family will be horrified to see him flaunting his wealth like this.”

Johnson chatted with his sister, who stood by him while he was in jail, and threw balls for the dogs on the outing near his £2million mansion in Castle Eden, Co Durham.

The shamed ex-Man City and Sunderland winger wore a short-sleeved T-shirt, leaving his white Bubba Watson watch clearly visible.

In 2012 Johnson posed alongside then City manager Roberto Mancini and Hollywood movie star Jackie Chan as the club announced a partnership deal with the watch firm.
