Brazos County jury gives man maximum sentence for sexual assault of a child
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – A Brazos County jury sentenced a man to 20 years in prison for sexual assault of a child.
It only took the jury 30 minutes to reach their verdict for Derrick Johnson.
He will also have to pay a $10,000 fine.
Johnson was first arrested in 2018 after a woman came forward saying he sexually abused her as a child.
During the investigation, two other women came forward saying the same thing.
“When a child abuse survivor discloses years of abuse, even as an adult, they deserve to receive justice,” the Assistant District Attorneys representing the state in this case said. “The jury in this case finally gave three survivors the justice and closure they have been seeking for so long.”
