According to the report, the victim states she was “grabbed by force” by Johnson. She was then put into a vehicle and taken to April Drive. The report then states the victim says she was sexually assaulted by Johnson.

It says the victim called 911 using Johnson’s phone. She then placed it down with the line open. When dispatch called back, Johnson told them the kids were playing with the phone.
