Sentencing for the case has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on January 20, 2022.

According to the Times Observer, Johnson was charged in February after police receive a report of a man threatening to harm himself and spoke with Johnson, who then told them that two female victims were reporting him for alleged sexual abuse.

The two victims reportedly arrived at the police station to file their complaints against Johnson two days later. The first victim reportedly told police she had been sexually abused by Johnson multiple times from the age of six to the age of 16, while the second victim reported Johnson had sexually abused her multiple times from the age of eight to the age of 17.

The second victim also alleged that Johnson had acknowledged the sexual abuse during a phone call with her grandparents present, and the grandparents reportedly confirmed the victim’s account of the call.
