Stafford County Sheriff's Office Press Release (dated Feb 25, 2008)

The Stafford County Sheriff's Office is asking if there are any other victims of this type of assault by Mr. Johnson to contact the Sheriff's Office at 540-658-4450.

Feb 25 - The Free Lance-Star provides more details.

The victim, who was spending the night with Johnson's daughter, told police that Johnson tried to pull her underwear down as she was sleeping in a guest bedroom on the second floor, the affidavit states.

The girl said she woke up about 6 a.m. Feb. 18 and felt a hand on her left buttocks pulling on her underwear. She rolled over before the underwear came down and saw Johnson kneeling next to the bed.

The girl said she told Johnson to "go" in a firm voice, and he didn't move or say anything. She then ran to his daughter's room down the hall, the affidavit states.

The two girls went to Johnson's wife and told her what had happened. Johnson tried to talk to the girls, court records state, but the visiting girl refused to talk to him. The mother then drove her home.
