Teenage girl abducted and raped over three years, manages to flee

Steven Johnson held captive a teenager of 19 years old, who said she was held and raped during her abduction

An Illinois man pleaded guilty to a sexual charge involving a teenager who claims that held her captive in his house for over three years, raped her daily and had a son of his captor.

Steven Johnson, 25, entered his plea in St. Clair County Circuit Court, after Washington Park police continue denouncing the 19-year-old, who said he had been held against her will in the house Johnson since April 2009 and was forced back at gunpoint when she tried to flee.

The woman told investigators she finally escaped on 20 August with the help of a relative.

The Johnson Family have refuted the allegations, telling the media that she was always free to leave the house.

Johnson and his mother were arrested Thursday after a SWAT team raided his house. He was charged Saturday with one count of felony sexual abuse, the defendant claims to have had sex with the teen since she disappeared in 2009.

Johnson also was charged with promoting prostitution, although it is unclear if this is related to the case of the teen-drug possession and firearm. The prisoner had been convicted of burglary.

Johnson’s mother, 54 years old, Owida Johnson, also appeared in court on Monday on two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment put. The charges say they submitted to the teenage son of two years old and another child “living conditions unsafe and unhealthy” at home. It describes the unsafe electrical wiring, animal feces and insects in the home and spoiled food in the refrigerator.

Police said the teen told investigators she endured almost daily shocks and sexual abuse at home and when he tried to escape, Johnson took her back, sometimes at gunpoint. The teen also told investigators that Johnson helped hold Owida against their will and falsifying medical records when his son was born.

Police Chief David Clark said the teenager met Johnson voluntarily and went home with him, but was not allowed to leave. Clark said the three-day delay between the time that the woman made her complaint to the police and a search of the house was devoted largely to trying to justify her story, which the same family of Steven Johnson rejected.

Chicago- Child abuse increased in 2011, says the Catholic Church

Is this to be handled different than the  FBI’s most wanted pedophile Toth, alias “David Busseone?”

A total of 489 people reported credible allegations of abuse by priests or deacons in 2011

CHICAGO, April 10. – The number of credible allegations of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests and deacons in the United States increased by 15 percent last year, and the church spent $ 144 million to deal with the scandal, according to a Church-sponsored audit released Tuesday.

A total of 489 people reported credible allegations of abuse by priests or deacons in 2011, most of them adults who as children were victims of clergy now deceased, said the Catholic Bishops Conference of the United States in a report its ninth annual audit on this issue.

Twenty victims were under 19 years and were recently abused. Lawyers for the victims say that there are about tens of thousands more victims who have never revealed since the scandal broke in Boston in 2002.

“We renew our pledge to do our best to end the social evil of child sexual abuse,” said Cardinal Timothy Dolan, chairman of the Conference, in a letter introducing the report.

Critics of the management of the Church in the sexual abuse crisis made fun of the audit, saying it minimizes the extent of abuse and the guilt of the Church hierarchy.

The annual audit of the bishops identified credible allegations against 406 priests or deacons. In 2010, there were 428 complaints against 345 offenders. More than a third of the alleged perpetrators were never charged before.

The numbers of victims and offenders were twice as high in the past decade, then fell in early 2008.

Twelve accused priests remain in active ministry pending the outcome of investigations. Eleven percent of the new charges were considered false.
