Pastor Accused Of Child-Sex Crimes Can't Live In Home With Kids, Judge Rules
LELAND, NC -- A Leland pastor accused of child sex abuse is not allowed to live with children under 18 years old, a Brunswick County Superior Court Judge ordered Tuesday. James T. Johnson will likely have to move out of his home by Monday because he lives with young children. Johnson, 46, has been charged with three counts of indecent liberties with a child, two counts of first-degree sex offense with a child and one count of attempted first-degree rape of a child. The girl, now 13, was in elementary school when the alleged incidents occurred over a three-year period. Johnson was released from jail and put on house arrest earlier this month after members of his congregation posted his $100,000 bond. His bond was originally set at $250,000 but was lowered by Chief District Court Judge Jerry Jolly.Click Here For The Full Story......
