Footie perv’s folks target of fireworks

- BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG

THE parents of jailed paedophile footballer Adam Johnson were targeted in a fireworks attack.

The shamed star’s sister Faye, 27, shared CCTV of the strike on their home and called for informatio­n.

It shows a man stop his car and appear to check the address before lighting and hurling the firework.

Mum Sonia, 53, and dad David, 50, were alerted by their dogs at the house in Castle Eden, Co Durham.

Faye said: “Horrendous to watch someone attempt something like this!”

Durham Police said: “We are aware of reports of anti-social behaviour.”

In March 2016, former Sunderland star Johnson, 30, was jailed for six years for sex offences against a girl of 15. He cannot be freed before March 2019.
