I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of dollars it takes to get one guy like this dealt with. Perhaps over a million. Regarding the Barnett thing, I've always found it a bit odd this subject is so full on visceral as MURDERING a person only costs you 13 yrs in jail. While rubbing a person of a low age warrants pulling them apart by wild horses or worse. Now I KNOW these acts often cause some kind of trauma, even for life but so does BEATING on a child from it's youngest years until it can escape the abuser but no NGO seems to want to champion the lil tykes when it comes to beatings, and other such non sexual abuse. PLEASE do not take what I've said as any kind of excusing away the heinous abuse of a child that guys like the one in this story do. But somewhere there is a child being beaten, starved and used as child slave labor and IF the perp is caught, likely he'll do WAY less time than Barnett does for doing what some here would give him a medal for. Meanwhile some dolt it being sent up on charges of dallying with a couple 15 yr olds and one 14 yr old and from the one pic I saw the girl looked to be a bargirl/prossie in training. Sadly the lynch mob mentality seems to be forever. I wonder if APLE budgets anything to TREATING the youth they make so much money from.

Sounds like he does have outstanding arrest warrants that he needs to handle back in Oregon:



An American citizen wanted in the US for a string of sexual assaults on children has been deported from the Kingdom.

Daniel Stephen Johnson, 36, had been in jail for a year awaiting extradition to the US. He fled to Cambodia after being charged with five separate counts of raping a minor in his home state of Oregon, and subsequently found work in a Phnom Penh orphanage.

After a request from the FBI, Mr. Johnson was arrested in Phnom Penh in December 2014 and held in prison.

But just before midnight yesterday, he was taken to Phnom Penh airport by FBI agents, who accompanied him on a flight to the US via South Korea and Canada.

Mr. Johnson is expected to stand trial in Portland, Oregon.

I don't understand the timeline of events here

the article says “Daniel Stephen Johnson, 36, had been in jail for a year awaiting extradition to the US “

then it says “ After a request from the FBI, Mr. Johnson was arrested in Phnom Penh in December 2014 and held in prison.”

So if he was only arrested in December 2014 which was just last month where did he spend one year in jail awaiting extradition?

Coos Bay man pleads not guilty to sexually abusing Cambodian boys

A federal grand jury has returned an eight-count indictment against a missionary worker from Coos Bay who is accused of molesting six underage boys while in Cambodia between 2005 and 2013.

Daniel Stephen Johnson, 39, pleaded not guilty to the charges during an arraignment hearing Monday in U.S. District Court in Eugene. Johnson appeared via telephone from a federal prison in Sheridan, where he’s being held while his case is pending.

One of the charges listed in the indictment, aggravated sexual assault, carries a minimum prison sentence of 30 years upon conviction.

Johnson was arrested in the case in December 2014, after authorities in Cambodia handed him over to a team of FBI agents who brought him to Oregon.

At the time, Johnson had just completed a one-year prison sentence in Cambodia for sexually abusing five boys who were in his care at an orphanage that he had operated there, according to multiple media reports.

Upon his return to the United States, Johnson was charged with one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place.

The new indictment expands the charges to include six counts of that crime, along with single counts of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and aggravated sexual assault.

An American man who served prison time in Cambodia for sexually abusing five boys under the care of his Phnom Penh orphanage is currently on trial in the U.S. for alleged crimes he committed in Cambodia between 2005 and 2013.

According to U.S. media reports, Daniel Johnson, 39, pleaded not guilty to a string of charges—including aggravated sexual abuse, which carries a minimum prison sentence of 30 years—at a district court in Oregon on Tuesday.

Mr. Johnson was deported to the U.S. in 2014 after completing his one-year sentence, and was immediately arrested and charged with one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place.

He is now charged with six counts of that crime, along with seven counts of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and eight counts of aggravated sexual abuse, according to court documents.

A federal jury convicted 40-year-old Daniel Johnson of repeatedly sexually abusing children at an unlicensed orphanage that he ran in Cambodia.



According to court documents and information shared during trial, Johnson systematically and repeatedly molested children who lived at an unlicensed orphanage he operated in Phnom Penh, Cambodia between November 2005 and his arrest in December 2013.

“The despicable nature of this defendant’s conduct is beyond understanding. Whether you are abusing children in this country or abroad, you will be pursued and held accountable in a court of law,” said Billy J. Williams, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. “The fact that this defendant abused children under the guise of being a missionary and orphanage operator is appalling.”

In 2013, a warrant was issued for Johnson’s arrest on an unrelated case by officials in Lincoln County, Oregon. Local law enforcement officers worked with the FBI to locate Johnson overseas. The FBI in turn worked with the U.S. Department of State to revoke Johnson’s passport based on the Oregon warrant.

Through the work of the FBI, Action Pour Les Enfants, a non-governmental organization dedicated to ending child sexual abuse and exploitation in Cambodia, and the Cambodian National Police (CNP), Johnson was located in Phnom Penh.

While in custody awaiting trial, Johnson made multiple efforts to tamper with witnesses and obstruct justice. Johnson contacted his victims online, encouraging them to lie and offering money and gifts, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

One message, sent via his relative’s Facebook account to an adult in Cambodia, discussed visiting a victim’s family and encouraging them to convince the victim to retract their statement, potentially in exchange for $10,000. Another message explains the need for a victim to say they were under duress and “pushed by police” to thumbprint a document.

Johnson faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and is subject to a 30 year mandatory minimum. He will be sentenced on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 before U.S. District Court Judge Michael J. McShane.

I hope he gets the maximum sentence.

Most sexual predators in the States live in the Bible belt so I'm not surprised that a pedophile was posing as a preacher.
I know Indiana has maybe the highest number of convicted pedos in the USA but you can't throw a rock without hitting a church or temple or synagogue.

UPDATE: Johnson has been sentenced to life in prison. The total sentence adds up to more than a lifetime, so he will never be released.

Oregon Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Sexually Abusing Children at Orphanage in Cambodia

(EUGENE, Ore.) - 40-year old Daniel Stephen Johnson, of Coos Bay, Oregon, was sentenced to life in federal prison on January 18th for repeatedly sexually abusing children who lived at an orphanage operated by the defendant in Cambodia.

In a jury trial ending on May 16, 2018, Johnson was convicted on six counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place and one count each of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and aggravated sexual assault with a child.

He was sentenced to 30 years in prison on each count of illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place, 30 years for traveling with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and life in prison for aggravated sexual assault with children. The sentences for engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place will run consecutively.

According to court documents and information shared during trial, between November 2005 and his arrest in December 2013, Johnson systematically and repeatedly molested children who lived at an unlicensed orphanage he started and ran in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Johnson funded the orphanage by soliciting donations from church groups in Oregon, California, Texas and elsewhere. Ten Cambodian victims—who ranged in age from seven to 18 years old at the time of abuse—have disclosed Johnson’s abuse or attempted abuse.

Victims described a pattern of molestation that includes, among other things, Johnson making them perform oral sex on him and anally raping them.

Years prior, according to a 2003 article in the News-Register, the Lincoln County district attorney’s office had charged Johnson in 2000-2001 with six counts of sex abuse and sodomy committed against three children. The charges were later dropped, due to "doubt regarding the reliability of testimony from the boys".

At the orphanage, multiple victims said they were, on numerous occasions, awoken to Johnson abusing them. Following the abuse, Johnson would sometimes provide his impoverished victims with small amounts of money or food. On one occasion, Johnson gave a victim the equivalent of $2.50 in Cambodian currency.

In 2013, a warrant was issued for Johnson’s arrest on an unrelated case by officials in Lincoln County, Oregon. Local law enforcement officers worked with the FBI to locate Johnson overseas. The FBI in turn worked with the U.S. Department of State to revoke Johnson’s passport based on the Oregon warrant.

Through the work of the FBI, Action Pour Les Enfants, a non-governmental organization dedicated to ending child sexual abuse and exploitation in Cambodia, and the Cambodian National Police (CNP), Johnson was located in Phnom Penh.

On December 9, 2013, CNP arrested Johnson. Based on disclosures made by children at the orphanage, Cambodian officials charged Johnson and detained him pending trial.

In May 2014, Johnson was convicted by a Cambodian judge of sexually abusing five underage boys in the care of an orphanage he ran in Phnom Penh and sentenced to a year in prison.

In December, 2014, the "American missionary" was deported to the U.S. Johnson was handed over by the Interior Ministry’s immigration department to an FBI attache in Phnom Penh at the request of the U.S. Embassy and he was escorted back to the U.S. Johnson had lived in Cambodia for more than a decade and would never be allowed to return.

Based on the sexual-abuse allegations against him, the FBI undertook a lengthy investigation of Johnson. During the course of their investigation, agents interviewed more than a dozen children and adults who had resided at the orphanage.

Many of the interviews were audio- and video-taped and, in several instances, conducted in Cambodia by trained child-forensic interviewers. Some victims were interviewed multiple times before disclosing Johnson’s abuse.

Johnson was indicted by a federal grand jury in Eugene, Oregon on December 20, 2014 on one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place. Seven additional charges were added by superseding indictment on May 17, 2017.

While in custody awaiting trial, Johnson made multiple efforts to tamper with witnesses and obstruct justice.

Johnson contacted his victims online, encouraging them to lie and offering money and gifts. One message, sent via his relative’s Facebook account to an adult in Cambodia, discussed visiting a victim’s family and encouraging them to convince the victim to retract their statement, potentially in exchange for $10,000. Another message explains the need for a victim to say they were under duress and “pushed by police” to thumbprint a document.

This case was investigated by the FBI with the assistance of the Toledo, Oregon Police Department. It was prosecuted by Jeffrey S. Sweet and Ravi Sinha, Assistant U.S. Attorneys for the District of Oregon, and Lauren E. Britsch, Trial Attorney for the Justice Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. Amy E. Potter, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, assisted with the prosecution.
