Now, the preacher has been accused of molestation of a seventeen-year-old girl in 2012. AnĀ extensive seven month investigation by theĀ Kentucky Center for Investigative ReportingĀ that includes over 100 interviews contains the bombshell allegations against Johnson.
Later, Johnson approached a dead woman in front of a crowd of about 7,000 in Colombiaā¦
Johnson lifted her out of the chair, according to Fischerās letter. He spoke to death and commanded it to leave.
āThen Danny spoke life to her and she took a breath ⦠and another breath. She was raised from the dead!ā
Twenty-six years later, Fischer said he doesnāt remember details of his letter. By email, he admitted that he didnāt witness these supposed miracles.
Johnson also has a rap sheet that includes paying people to burn his car for insurance money in the 1980s. In 2000, his church mysteriously burned down when it was āessentially bankruptā. No one was charged despite a witness seeing a man drive away from the church matching Johnsonās description.

At a New Yearās Eve party in 2012, then-17 year old Maranda Richmond, who attended the Republicanās church, alleges Johnson showed up drunk and woke her while she was sleeping. Then the assault took place as described by Richmond.
But she saw Johnson kneeling above her. He gave her a kiss on the head. She thought it fatherly, nothing out of the ordinary,Ā simply one last goodnight gesture.
Then 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.
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 sheād like it. She said no, she didnāt. She pleaded with him: go away, go away.
