A 58-year-old Taylors man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly initiating inappropriate sexual conduct 26 years ago with a teenage boy at a Hampton Park Baptist Church youth function.
According to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, a sex crimes investigation was conducted after the department’s Crimes Against Children Unit received a report earlier this year alleging that Kenneth Johnson had engaged in sexual behavior with a child at an Amy Street address in Taylors from June to August of 1985. Warrants indicate Johnson allegedly touched a 14-year-old boy’s genitals on multiple occassions. During the time of the alleged abuse, the victim was a juvenile and an active participant in the youth group at the church, where Johnson was a volunteer assistant.
The victim has not indicated that there were any such incidences on church property.
