Man Uses MySpace to Molest Boy
(WSB Radio) A 26 year old man is in police custody, charged with posing as a teenage girl online and then molesting a 13 year old boy.
Gwinnett County investigators arrested Antoine Louis Johnson and charged him with the molestation of the boy.
Police are concerned there may be other victims of Johnson. He worked with middle school aged youths at the Hebron Baptist Church, in Dacula.
According to police, the teenage victim came forward on last week to say he had been molested in June of 2008. He told authorities he met a girl on MySpace who promised him sexual favors if he would allow her brother to perform sex acts on him.
Johnson allegedly picked the boy up at the entrance of his neighborhood, drove him to a nearby vacant house and performed various sexual acts on the teenager.
Police say Johnson also contacted one of the victim's friends, also posing as a 16 year old girl, and tried meeting him, as well.
After the 13 year old spoke out about the molestation, police set up a sting to catch Johnson.
On June 5, Johnson was supposed to meet the boy and his friend at the intersection of Indian Shoals Road and Biltmore Oaks Drive. But, instead of there being two teenage boys, Johnson was met by members of the police Special Victim's Unit, who placed him under arrest.
After interviewing Johnson, police charged him with two counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of child molestation.
Additional charges are possible based on Johnson's intended meeting with the two teenagers last week.
Johnson is being held, without bond, at the Gwinnett County Detention Center.
Anyone with additional information about Mr. Johnson's activities is asked to contact Investigator Flanagan at 770-513-5300.
