Johnson last Monday completed a one-year prison sentence in Cambodia for sexually abusing five boys who were in his care at an orphanage he had operated there, according to multiple media reports and the anti-pedophile group Action pour les Enfants, which is based in

More than a decade ago, Johnson was accused in Oregon of molesting three children in his sister’s care. But Lincoln County prosecutors dismissed sexual abuse and sodomy charges in the case after investigators began to doubt the alleged victims’ statements, according to a 2003 article in the Yamhill Valley News-Register. The article described Johnson as a part-time missionary and said he was arrested at an airport upon returning from a trip to Asia.

arrested at an airport upon returning from a trip to Asia

Trip to Asia? One guess as to what he was doing?

And, of course, prosecutors doubted the children's stories. Children love to make up sodomy/abuse stories about their uncle. Favorite pastime of kids is getting their relatives locked up.

Thanks for this and it's what @carmencita was talking about. Oregon is morally bankrupt. They can get up in arms about calling thugs that will kill/torture anything that movies, but pedos? Hey, just give them a Get Out of Jail Free pass! I'm only surprised that the prosecutor in that first case didn't blame the children for coming onto Johnson and saying the sex was consensual.

I'm sure that'll be coming next year.

Thanks again.

Yeah, that's what they talk about during their school lunch hour and swap stories. Where do they hear this stuff from anyways? Uh Hmm maybe their uncle?

I read a letter from an abused daughter, who was abused by her grandfather. The mother never forgave the daughter for snitching on her grandfather. So why would these kids want to

snitch on their relative knowing probably no one would believe them. It would take a lot for those kids to come forward with this. People need to stop blaming kids for the crimes of adults.

Totally agree.

You know, now that I'm thinking about this, it just occurred to me why they're pushing all that inappropriate sexual education at way too young age. It's because the biggest advantage for children coming forward was their age. A common remark to a child describing explicit details was that a five-year-old wouldn't know these things. But if the schools compel children to learn these details, then the story can be brushed aside because the child really could have known details and made up a story to include them.

But really, in the McMartin cae and Aquino case, children weren't believed even though they had venereal diseases. I mean .. WHAT? Let's face it, there's a war going on for our children. We have to keep fighting to keep them safe.

Oh wow. That's a really good point.
