Alton Johnson

By Sharon Aron Baron

A Lauderhill man is facing several criminal charges, including soliciting minors and transmitting harmful material to them while working as an employee of Broward County Public Schools.

In February, Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives began a joint investigation with the Broward County Public Schools Special Investigative Unit into 31-year-old Alton Johnson. This was after determining that Johnson, who worked at Blanche Ely High School as a school campus monitor, solicited two juveniles to send him sexually explicit videos.

In one case, Johnson offered the juvenile money in exchange for the video. Johnson is also accused of sending pornographic images to one of the juveniles. Additionally, Johnson is charged with being an authority figure engaged in lewd conduct with a student.

On August 4, Johnson was booked into the Broward County Main Jail on five criminal charges.

Due to Johnson’s job and proximity to minors, detectives fear there may be more victims. Anyone with information about Johnson that could assist investigators is asked to contact Special Victims Unit Detective Robert Rausch at 954-321-4234.

If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.
