A Llano-area resident was arrested on Jan. 28 on two child sexual assault charges after a coordinated investigation handled by the Llano County and Hays County sheriff’s offices.
According to a media release issued by the LCSO and other information pulled from Hays County Jail records, Justice Malachi Johnson, 22, of Llano, was taken into custody and charged with sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact, both of which are second-degree felonies.
A representative of the LCSO told DailyTrib that the alleged crimes occurred in Llano County, but he was reportedly employed at the Hays County Juvenile Detention Center. LCSO CID and the Hays County Sheriff’s Office coordinated to take Johnson into custody in San Marcos, and booked him in the Hays County Jail.
Johnson was released on $150,000 in bonds on Feb. 3 and awaits trial on a future date.
