US EditionRioter Pardoned by Trump Found Guilty of Child Sex Abuse
Andrew Paul Johnson was convicted of five charges including molesting children and exposing himself; prosecutors say he tried to silence a victim with a $10 million restitution claim.
- On Tuesday, a Hernando County jury found Andrew Paul Johnson guilty on five counts, including molesting a child under 12 and exposing himself to children, prosecutors said.
- Arrested last August, Johnson was charged after investigators probed reports he inappropriately touched minors and attempted to silence a victim with a $10,000,000 claim, according to police.
- Court records allege physical and sexual assaults, lewd exhibition, and electronically transmitting material harmful to a minor, supported by an 11-year-old's account and Discord messages showing Johnson sneaking to a child's home.
- William Forgie said Johnson faces up to life in prison at his March sentencing, with a 25-year minimum on some counts.
- Amid debate over pardons, this conviction joins other post-pardon criminal cases involving more than 1,500 pardoned individuals, while the White House has not answered NPR on compensation and Trump said, `These were peaceful people, these were great people.
