GOP State Rep. Accused of Raping 17-Year-Old Sings Hymn Before Declaring: ‘No Reason I Would Resign’
It seems like every day a new media or political figure is accused of having committed some form of a sex crime. Oh wait, it
is every day, sometimes multiple times in one day. Yipes.
Today’s contender in the “worst male in the world” contest is Kentucky State Rep.
Dan Johnson, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl at a New Year’s Eve party while he was
acting as her preacher.
This incident is said to have occurred in 2012, with alleged victim
Maranda Richmond detailing her story to Louisville Public Media,
which has been transcribed by Raw Story.
“He started to stroke her arm. He slid his hands up, under her shirt and bra, and groped her. He stuck his tongue in her mouth. Then, he forced his hands down her pants, underneath her underwear, and penetrated her with his finger,” the statement read. “She begged her pastor to stop and tried to force him off, quietly. She remembers not wanting to awaken Sarah. But Johnson was a big man, roughly twice her weight.”
“He told her she’d like it. She said no, she didn’t. She pleaded with him: go away, go away.”
