Republican Representative Dan Johnson Of Kentucky Accused Of Molesting 17-Year-Old
Johnson initially made waves with his run when racist posts were found on his Facebook page, including images of former First Couple Barack and Michelle Obama with ape-like features photoshopped onto their faces. After being confronted with the images, the Republican refused to apologize.

Now, the preacher has been accused of molestation of a seventeen-year-old girl in 2012. An extensive seven month investigation by the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting 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 ColombiaâŠ
Johnson lifted her out of the chair, according to Fischerâs letter. He spoke to death and commanded it to leave.
âThen Danny spoke life to her and she took a breath ⊠and another breath. She was raised from the dead!â
Twenty-six years later, Fischer said he doesnât remember details of his letter. By email, he admitted that he didnât 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 âessentially bankruptâ. No one was charged despite a witness seeing a man drive away from the church matching Johnsonâs description.

At a New Yearâs Eve party in 2012, then-17 year old Maranda Richmond, who attended the Republicanâs 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, 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 sheâd like it. She said no, she didnât. She pleaded with him: go away, go away.

The investigation also reports weekend parties at one of the pastorâs facilities that included âBikers, booze and, occasionally, bare breasts.â Pretty strange parties for a priest, much less one who recently proposed a bill that would ârequire all devices sold in Kentucky that can access the internet to have pornography blockers installed on themâ.
