Deputy, dispatcher charged in child sex abuse case after Harris Co. Pct. 1 deputy commits suicide, constable says
Liberty County – Two more people have been charged in connection with several allegations of sexual abuse involving minors after a Harris County Precinct 1 deputy who was also being investigated died by suicide Wednesday, according to Harris County Constable Precinct 1.
On May 14, the investigation began when a dispatcher was being evaluated on their work performance, according to Pct. Constable Alan Rosen. He said during the evaluation, the dispatcher made an outcry about the child abuse allegations involving Precinct 1 Deputy Constable Robert Johnson.
Rosen said the allegations were reported to Internal Affairs and the investigation began. He said on Monday morning the department contacted the Houston Police Department to investigate the case, where investigators found out the incidents took place in Alvin. Rosen said HPD and CPS contacted the Alvin Police Department about the allegations. He said Alvin police tried to make contact with Johnson.
On Wednesday morning, Rosen said that the same dispatcher who made the outcry said she was with Johnson and that he was threatening to kill her and take his life. He said after an attempted traffic stop in north Liberty County, Johnson sparked a standoff with deputies and threatened to take his own life.
Alvin police said during the standoff, Johnson made several phone calls and confessed to the allegations of sexually assaulting minors. Police said he also implicated named other adults in the sexual abuse, including the dispatcher.
After several hours, police said Johnson took his own life.
Police said the sexual abuse allegations were being investigated by several agencies including the Houston Police Department, Alvin police, Texas Rangers, the FBI, and the Brazoria County District Attorney’s Office.
