According to investigators, Johnson had videos and images of prepubescent girls "being sexually exploited" on his personal computer. Agents also found VHS tapes that appeared to contain hidden camera footage from a changing area for school-age girls.
In 1998, Johnson pleaded guilty to indecent exposure, a charge the Texas Education Agency said should have shown up in a background check. Still, Johnson was hired at Beechnut Academy just two years later, where he worked for 16 years.
