A Montgomery county grand jury has indicted a 32-year-old Englewood man on multiple felony charges including rape and kidnapping.
Jason E. Johnston Sr. was formally charged Friday on six counts of kidnapping, two counts of aggravated menacing and single counts of felonious assault, sexual battery, rape and gross sexual imposition. The aggravated menacing counts are misdemeanors. The rest are felonies and carry three-year firearm specifications.
Trotwood police were called to a home on Sept. 12 where Johnston was allegedly threatening the children’s mother at gunpoint after assaulting the children at his home in Englewood and taking them to their mother’s residence.
Officers were able to get the man to put the weapon down and took him into custody.
“This defendant sexually molested a child, terrorized four victims and threatened a woman at gunpoint,” Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. said. “His actions are disturbing.”
Johnston has been employed since April 16 as a nurse supervisor at Montgomery County’s Stillwater Center, a home for children and adults who have the most severe and profound mental retardation. According to the prosecutor’s office, the charges are not related to Johnston’s job.
Johnston has not reported to work since Sept. 12 and has not followed proper call-in procedures, said Cathy Petersen, the county’s communications director. At this time, Montgomery County is following the Board of County Commissioners policy to address his failure to report to work.
Johnston is in the county jail on a $2 million bond. He is to be arraigned Sept. 25.
