Child sex shame footballer Adam Johnson raking in £5,000 a week at Doncaster jail
The shamed ex-England winger is earning the money through his £5 million property empire and high-interest funds, according to national newspaper reports.
Johnson, who was caged for six years in March for sex with a 15-year-old fan, will pick up £250,000 for every year he is locked up on child sex charges, according to The Daily Star.

“He’ll still be an extremely wealthy man when he is freed.”
The revelation comes after the 29-year-old had his bid to appeal against his child sex conviction kicked out over the summer.
His application to reduce the six-year jail sentence – which he is currently serving at HMP Moorland in Doncaster, South Yorks – was rejected as well.
