Paedophile footballer Adam Johnson has come under fire for flashing a £100,000 watch while playing fetch with his dogs – just days after the disgraced winger walked free from prison.
The 31-year-old was released from HMP Moorland in the dead of night on March 22 after serving half of his six-year sentence for grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
But he has been accused of flaunting his freedom after being spotted boasting a luxury Richard Mille wristwatch in a park near his £2million mansion in Castle Eden, County Durham.

‘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’, a source told the Mirror.
Along with his 25-year-old sister, Faye, he chucked mini footballs for his two cockapoos to chase on Sunday.
In 2012, the then-Manchester City signing attended a sponsorship event with ex-manager Roberto Mancini as Richard Mille struck a partnership with the Premier League club.
And despite being locked up for three years, Johnson does not appear to have lost his expensive taste in clothes as his Fresh Ego Kid tracksuits retail for a hefty £100.
The backlash caused by the convicted paedophile, who himself has a four-year-old daughter, comes after reports that his friends were planning to transform his seven-bedroom home into a ‘party pad’ for a wild welcome home bash.
Rumours of an extravagant shindig seemed to be ring true when a Majestic Wine van pulled up outside his mansion and sister Faye was seen with an armful of ‘Welcome Home’ balloons.

Johnson endured a nailbiting final week in prison as he feared that he would be attacked by ‘nutters’ when he was on the outside, according to sources close to the shamed ex-England international.
Prisoners are usually released from jail just after 6am – though exceptions are made for ‘high profile’ inmates such as Johnson, whose father David drove him from prison in a blacked-out Mercedes.
And Johnson’s seeming willingness to lapse back into his pre-prison lifestyle comes after his ex-girlfriend said she does not regard him as a paedophile.
Stacey Flounders, 29, also claimed she thought his six-year jail sentence for sexually touching a 15-year-old girl was ‘extreme.’
Speaking for the first time about her ordeal, she said: ‘What he did was wrong. In the eyes of the law she was a child and he should have known better. Even so, the sentence was a shock. I thought it was extreme.’
Miss Flounders said she and Johnson would tell their daughter Ayla the truth about his offending when she is 13.
In 2017, the Court of Appeal threw out Johnson’s challenge against his 2015 conviction.
And Faye stood by her brother throughout this period, posting a flurry of appeals on Facebook and Twitter using the phrase ‘Justice for Johnson’ and the hashtag #TeamAJ.
