Yesterday, at Readiness Conference, alleged molestor Robert Johnson resolved his case with a plea, just a couple of days before his jury trial was scheduled to start and avoided a worse sentence.
Judge Steven Steward took the plea and advised Johnson of sexually violent predator statutes and requirements.
Johnson is scheduled to be sentenced on 9/19. Deputy District Attorney Carolyn Schaffer is the prosecutor for the case. Ms. Andrea Sullivan is Johnson's attorney.
I was in the courtroom yesterday and watched Ms. Schaffer and Ms. Sullivan have private discussions about the plea and Ms. Sullivan speak with Johnson.
Johnson ended up getting a resolution of 18 years to life. With allegations from two separate victims, and facing multiple life sentences; Johnson should consider himself lucky he got Ms. Sullivan court appointed to represent him.
Johnson cannot post bail. Information amended to add Count 9 PC 288.5 (a) continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 as a felony. Johnson has to register as a sex offender and waived his right to appeal. Johnson did not waive custody credits. More details in court minutes.
