Daughter of convicted paedophile Adam Johnson is allowed to visit the shamed footballer in prison
Perv gets to see daughter Ayla after social workers say he is no threat to the toddler
SHAMED footballer Adam Johnson has been allowed a visit from his 18-month-old daughter in prison for the first time.
Paedophile Johnson, 28, was reunited with little Ayla after a ban on contact with the toddler was lifted.
Our exclusive pictures show her leaving Category C Moorland jail, South Yorks, after an emotional visit with mum Stacey Flounders this week.
Wag Stacey, 26, who stood by the £60,000-a-week ex-Sunderland star during his trial for sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan, was spotted at the jail on Thursday.
In one picture Stacey, believed to have rekindled her relationship with the pervert, appears to wipe a tear from her eye as they leave the two-hour reunion.
In others, Ayla holds hands with Stacey and Johnson’s mother Sonia, 49, who accompanied them.
Yesterday a source said: “Johnson was overjoyed. He has not seen Ayla for more than three months since he was sentenced.
“He is massively relieved that the ban on contact with her has been removed and shed a tear when she, Stacey and his mum said goodbye.”
The Sun on Sunday told in May how Johnson had been banned from talking to or seeing Ayla, who bears a striking resemblance to him.
Stacey had handed the phone to their daughter during a regular call from jail that was monitored by prison bosses.
The former England star was told he had breached a sex offenders’ order.
Johnson has now passed a “risk assessment” and social workers and probation chiefs have said he poses no danger to Ayla.
Our source said:
“The ban was only lifted last week and the visit was a couple of days later.”
Johnson is allowed four supervised visits a month.
At his trial in March he was granted bail to go and say goodbye to his daughter.

Johnson posted a black and white picture hugging the toddler on WhatsApp before returning to be sentenced to six years.
In the snap Ayla was seen in a Sunderland shirt with his number 11 and the word Daddy on the back.
The Ministry of Justice declined to comment.
