Paedophile footballer Adam Johnson’s loyal ex-girlfriend Stacey Flounders quits Twitter after public backlash over his appeal
SHAMED Adam Johnson's loyal ex has quit Twitter after being slammed for backing his appeal against his child sex conviction.
Stacey Flounders and Johnson's sister Faye told Instagram and Twitter users a date for the disgraced footballer's appeal had been set for later this month.
But the 27-year-old - mum to Johnson's daughter Ayla - received a barrage of abuse from social media users slamming the ex-Sunderland player.
Stacey, who stood by Johnson after he was caged for six years in March for sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan, has since removed her Twitter account.
Shell said: “He admitted what he done.... only justice now would be let the poor lass get on without dragging this out again!”
Rob said: “Sunderland paid them enough whilst he was lying through his teeth.”
JB said: “Justice? Maybe a longer sentence. Given he admitted guilt, this is horrific.”
While Samantha said: “Log off and delete your profile. do decent woman a favour!!
Others compared Johnson to evil paedophile Jimmy Savile.
The ex-England star was banged up in March for six years after being convicted of engaging in sexual activity with the besotted teenager.
The pervert met his victim when she was just 14 when she would wait for him after matches to get his autograph.
Johnson soon began grooming her online, despite knowing she was 15, before meeting her twice in his £80,000 Range Rover in January 2015.
On the second occasion they engaged in sexual activity just three weeks after Stacey gave birth to Ayla.
He pleaded guilty to grooming and a less serious charge of sexual activity with the girl.
The 29-year-old continued to pick up his £60,ooo-a-week wages from Sunderland after he was charged.
In July, Johnson lost an appeal against his sentence and conviction but has vowed to fight on.
His case will be heard at the Court of Appeal on February 28, where he will apply for permission from the full court to appeal against his conviction.
Stacey stood by the footy paedo right up until his trial began at Bradford Crown Court early last year.
But during the child sex trial the jury sensationally heard that the ex- air hostess had dumped the ex-Sunderland star and her dad confirmed the split.
She also moved out of the couple’s £1.7 million mansion in Castle Eden in County Durham into a new nearby pad.
But loyal Stacey still visits the former £60,000-a-week winger at Moorland prison, near Doncaster.
