Man Accused of Assaulting A Minor for Years

 

SAN ANTONIO, TX — A 37-year-old man has been arrested after police say he sexually assaulted a child for several years.

According to KTXS, Gilbert Johnson is accused of assaulting a child "almost every other night.” According to police, the alleged abuse began when the child was 7 or 8 years old.

According to court documents Johnson “would tell the victim he needed his 'time' with her and would often bribe the victim with candy, toys, and video games as a reward."

The girl’s mother told investigators that when she confronted Johnson he confessed to the crimes.

Johnson has been charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child.
