Career

Criminal conviction

In March 2011, Johnson was charged in Racine County Circuit Court with sexually assaulting his step-daughter over a period of three years, starting from when she was 12 years old.[5][6] In June 2014, he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors. The victim had moved to North Carolina, wanted the case dismissed, and fought efforts to make her appear and testify. Johnson was sentenced to four months in jail with Huber privileges after 60 days and fined $6,000. He will not have to register as a sex offender.[7][8][3]
