Louisiana Woman Indicted for Molestation of Boy

(Shreveport, Louisiana) A 40-year-old local woman Susan Johnston, was arrested Thursday after being indicted for allegedly engaging in sex with an 11-year-old boy. She faces charges of aggravated rape and molestation of juveniles.

Assistant District Attorney Hugo Holland said Johnston is accused of having sexual relations with a boy beginning when he was 11 years old and continuing for two years.

The little girl was molested starting at age 8, Holland said. The children were also told to have sex with each other on a handful of occasions, Holland said.

Under Louisiana law, sexual relations with a child under the age of 13 is considered aggravated rape.

Notably, Johnston and her husband, Brandon Johnston, were charged with child cruelty in January 2008 in the stabbing of their eight-year-old daughter. Susan was out on bond when arrested. Brandon remains in jail.

Brandon Johnston is a convicted sex offender out of Texas who also faces charges for failing to register as a sex offender.

Susan Johnston was booked into custody at the Caddo Parish Jail.
