On February 14, 2025, detectives with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit (SVU) launched an investigation following a report of the sexual assault of a child. The suspect, 42-year-old Jason Allen Johns, was previously a foster parent to the victim.

Johns has been charged with sexual offenses against children and is currently in custody at the El Paso County Jail.
