[Tom Shady]

Deon "D.J." Johnson, a star athlete at Spanish Fort High who committed to Alabama in April, was arrested Thursday on charges of second-degree rape and sodomy.

Johnson, 18, was arrested in Daphne at 3:30 p.m., according to Lt. Jud Beedy, spokesman for the Daphne Police Department.

Beedy said Johnson turned himself to police. The age of the alleged victim was not released.

Alabama law defines second-degree rape as having intercourse with someone younger than 16, but older than 12, as long at the defendant is at least two years older than the victim.

Beedy said the incident in question happened between December and a week ago in Daphne.

"The (alleged victim's) parents came forward to make a complaint," he said. "We investigated and found enough evidence for an arrest."

Johnson was booked at the Baldwin County Corrections Center at 8:43 p.m. on Thursday. All felony cases from Daphne are transfered to the Corrections Center. According to the Baldwin County Sheriff's website, he has been released on $20,000 bond.

Johnson, a four-star prospect, caught a 60-yard touchdown pass and racked up 110 yards of offense in Spanish Fort's nationally televised win against Daphne on Monday.

He is ranked No. 9 on the al.com A-List of the state's top prospects. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Johnson caught 63 passes and had 19 touchdowns as a junior.

A female who answered the phone at Johnson's residence declined to comment.

Spanish Fort coach Mark Freeman did not immediately return a call to his cell phone.

However, Baldwin County Public Schools spokesman Terry Wilhite said Johnson has missed some practice this week and will not dress or play in tonight's game against B.C. Rain. Wilhite said Johnson has not been suspended from school at this time.

"This is an active police investigation and, as such, we are very limited with our ability to share information," Wilhite said. "Right now, we really have very limited information at all. The matter is under review by the administration."
