Ex-Auburn star Eddie Johnson accused of sexually assaulting child

OCALA, Fla. (AP) --Authorities in Oscala, Florida, say former NBA All-Star and ex-Auburn standout Eddie Johnson has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl.

The 51-year-old Johnson was charged yesterday with sexual battery on a child under the age of 12 and residential burglary for entering the apartment where the girl was staying while her mother was out.

Johnson was being held without bond at the Marion County jail.

Police said the girl and her thr
ee brothers were staying in the apartment while their mother registered them at school. Johnson allegedly walked into the apartment uninvited and told the girl's six-year-old brother to lock the door. The girl told detectives Johnson ordered her into a bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her.

Since 1989, court records show Johnson has had numerous convictions: burglary, battery, robbery, marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest, along with a charge last month of battery on a law enforcement officer.

Johnson, a 6-foot-2 guard from Auburn University, played in the NBA from 1977-to-1987 with the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics.

Police: Ex-NBA All-Star Breaks In Home, Molests Child

POSTED: 4:04 am EDT August 9, 2006
UPDATED: 8:32 am EDT August 9, 2006

OCALA, Fla. -- Ocala authorities said former NBA All-Star Eddie Johnson was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl.

Police said Johnson, 51, was charged on Tuesday with sexual battery on a child under the age of 12 and residential burglary for entering the apartment where the girl was staying while her mother was out.

According to a police report, Johnson walked into the apartment uninvited and told the girl's 6-year-old brother to lock the door.

The police report says the girl told
detectives Johnson ordered her into a bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her. He apparently then told her "not to tell anyone about what just happened."

She told her mother about the alleged assault. The girl's mother told detectives she knew Johnson from the neighborhood, but he had never had permission to be in her home.

Johnson was arrested in a field near the apartment building.

The police report states that he told detectives he had been in the apartment with the children and kissed the girl on the head, which he does all the neighborhood children "as a friendly gesture." (this is as close to a full confession as you get with a nigger!!)
Johnson is being held without bond at the Marion County jail. It's not immediately known if he is being represented by an attorney.

The former guard played in the NBA from 1977-1987 with the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics. He represented the Hawks in the 1980 and 1981 NBA All-Star games
and scored more than 10,000 points in his career.

Give a nigger fame and money and he still is a nigger and nothing can change that!! Evil lurks in the heart of every nigger buck, they are all a rape waiting to happen. Good find, 88!!

Johnson requested to represent himself, but Marion County Judge John Futch assigned him a public defender.

The 51-year-old Johnson is accused of entering the apartment where the girl was staying while her mother was out, said Sgt. Russ Kern of the Ocala police department. He was charged Tuesday with sexual battery on a child under the age of 12 and residential burglary.

Johnson, a guard from Auburn who played in the NBA from 1977-1987 with the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics, was being held at the Marion County jail. He is not to be confused with the Eddie Johnson who is now a television analyst with his former team, the Phoenix Suns.

Since 1989, online Marion County court records show Johnson has had numerous convictions: burglary, battery, robbery, marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest, along with a charge last month of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting or obstructing an officer without violence, the newspaper reported Wednesday.

  "One apology isn't enough for Eddie Johnson. He wants an apology every day of every week for the next year, if not for the rest of his life. The Chicago Tribune, a national radio show and a number of TV stations have smeared his fine name, mistakenly identifying the Chicago-bred basketball legend and former University of Illinois star as the Eddie Johnson charged last week with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl in Florida." - (reader link)
• Chicago Tribune Condemns The Wrong Eddie Johnson
  The paper that last year managed to misidentify two Chicago men as mobsters two days in a row made another egregious mistaken ID last week. A former NBA player named Eddie Johnson was charged with sexual assault. But there are two Eddie Johnsons who played in the NBA, and the Tribune, rushing to get the news item in the paper before deadline, chose the wrong one. The mistaken Johnson told AP that it was the worst day of his life. "Devastating. Hard to explain," he told the news service. The day after its error, the Tribune ran an editor's note and a correction with the editor's note/apology:
