"According to prosecutors, he forced a male detainee to perform oral sex on him on two occasions and attempted to have penetrative sex with him. Johnson faces two counts related to the alleged assaults and a third accusing him of lying to federal agents about the incidents after his DNA was found on the victim's prison jumpsuit."
"Charging papers describe Johnson as directing the victim prisoner to accompany him to the jail's chaplain offices in May 2025, then directing him to perform oral sex while the two were hidden behind a stack of chairs. The defendant also attempted to have sexual intercourse with John Doe, but John Doe refused; and the defendant was unable to do so."
"During a second incident, Johnson allegedly told the prisoner to leave his unit and took him to a remote area of the jail where a similar assault took place. After that incident, according to law enforcement, the prisoner wiped Johnson's semen on his prison jumpsuit, preserving DNA that later was found to be a match for the correctional officer."
James Johnson, 36, a correctional officer and mentor coordinator at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a male detainee on two separate occasions in May 2025. Prosecutors allege Johnson forced the prisoner to perform oral sex and attempted penetrative sex. Johnson also faces charges for lying to federal agents about the incidents. DNA evidence found on the victim's prison jumpsuit linked Johnson to the crimes. He was released on a $100,000 unsecured bond signed by his father and another surety. The assaults allegedly occurred in the jail's chaplain offices and a remote area of the facility.
