Spring, Texas
A Spring man, Johnny Green, 43, has been denied bail in connection with the alleged kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old DeKaney High School student. Green remains in Harris County Jail following his arrest this week, where prosecutors successfully argued against granting bail for the felony charges of aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault of a child.
According to court documents, the incident reportedly occurred in September when the girl was walking near Andy DeKaney High School. Green is accused of approaching the girl in his vehicle and instructing her to get inside. When she initially refused, Green allegedly told her he would take her to the police station, at which point she complied. Once in the car, Green reportedly searched the girl’s body for a recording device. She later told police she was afraid but too intoxicated to resist, having taken an edible and smoked a vape pen with THC earlier that day.
Police allege Green then took the victim to his house, where he raped her multiple times. DNA samples collected during a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner exam were matched to Green in December. Surveillance footage from September also showed Green picking up the girl from a parking lot near the school, driving away, and later returning to drop her off. On January 8, the girl identified Green from a photographic lineup. He is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
