Hall monitor charged with sex crimes against Lincoln High School student
A former hall monitor at Warren's Lincoln High School is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl. The 22-year-old man is now facing numerous charges stemming from those allegations.
WARREN, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man is accused of having sexual relationships with Lincoln High School students while he was a hall monitor at the Warren school.
Jaren Johnson, 22, is charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of accosting a minor, two counts of distributing sexually explicit material, and one count of using a computer to send explicit material.
Johnson was a football coach then started as a hall monitor.
He allegedly met multiple victims while he worked at the school. The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office said he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl on school property.
"They started by texting and flirting in the halls," student DeAnthony Dillard said. "I saw a few glances of it, but I didn't think nothing of it at the time."
Johnson worked at the school for several months and was fired a few weeks ago. He has no prior criminal record.
His bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety. If he posts bond, Johnson cannot have contact with the victims or anyone under 18 years old and must wear a GPS tether.
