While out on bail in kidnapping case, Oakland man charged with child trafficking
"Police say a relative of a 14-year-old girl called police and told them the girl was with Johnson at the Bay Breeze Inn in Oakland. Police went there and found not only the girl, but a 15-year-old girl, as well as a replica gun in Johnson's hotel room, according to court records. Authorities allege that Johnson met one of the girl's when she was at a youth crisis center in San Francisco and had been with her for several weeks."
"He reportedly gave the girls $500 daily quotas, instructing them to be sexually abused by adult strangers for as long as it took to make that amount, according to court records. Johnson was arrested and charged back in May after an undercover officer allegedly saw him throwing a woman in a bikini into his vehicle and driving off, as she screamed for help."
