Carolina Woman Accused of Child Seduction

(Seneca, South Carolina) A 42-year-old local woman, Lori Johnson, was arrested yesterday for allegedly seducing a 16-year-old boy.

Reportedly, Johnson wrote a love letter to the boy which was discovered by a parent who called the authorities. Johnson has been charged with lewd act on a child.

The teenager told police that since March 2010, he had been spending time with Johnson. He said she was forcing herself on him, and would become upset if she thought she wasn’t getting enough attention from him.

The teen said when he told Johnson that he did not love her in June, she said she couldn’t live without him, and the only thing keeping her from “driving her car into a lake was because she believed in their relationship.” He said she threatened to kill herself several other times after that.

Johnson was booked into custody at the Oconee County Detention Center.
