Judge Rejects Child Molester's Request for Freedom
by Bob Priddy
A child molester's request to be released from a state treatment center
has been rejected by a judge in Neosho. The judge says Joseph Johnson
has to stay at the Farmington Correctional Center. Johnson finished his
four year sentence for sexual assault in 1999 and became one of the
first sex offenders the state decided to keep in custody because he was
considered a violent predator. Johnson's most recent prison term was
for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl while he was on parole from
a conviction of the statutory sodomy of a nine-year-old girl.
