The other child believed to be in danger was located when Johnson was arrested, the news release said.

A school counselor alerted authorities around 11 a.m. Thursday, March 16, that a student disclosed sexual abuse.

Detectives from the Wylie Police Department and the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County assisted in the investigation that led to a warrant for Johnson’s arrest. 

The investigation remains ongoing with officers working to determine if there are any additional victims.
