Staff Report
A 32-year-old Englewood man is charged with five felonies including rape, gross sexual imposition and kidnapping after police say he tied up several juveniles, held them at gunpoint and raped at least one of them.
Jason Johnston Sr. is in the Montgomery County Jail on $2 million bond.
Trotwood police were called to a home on Berry Drive early Wednesday where Johnston was allegedly threatening the children’s mother at gunpoint after assaulting the kids at his home in Englewood and then taking them to their mother’s residence.
Officers were able to get Johnston to put the weapon down and took him into custody.
Trotwood police alerted Englewood police to the situation and Englewood officers obtained a search warrant for Johnston’s home, according to Englewood Sgt. Mike Lang.
“Physical evidence recovered from the home was able to easily corroborate the horrible ordeal these kids went through in the early morning hours yesterday,” Lang said.
Based on that evidence, Montgomery County prosecutors approved four counts of kidnapping and single counts of rape and gross sexual imposition.
Johnston is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning.
Lang said Johnston has no prior criminal history. “He went from 0 to 100 in a short amount of time and created an incident which will certainly have a lasting impact on everybody that was involved,” Lang said. “It’s absolutely tragic.”
It is the policy of News Center 7 and the Dayton Daily News not to report details that would identify the victims of sexual assault.
