The longtime assistant to Alabama state Rep. John Rogers will be sentenced in December.
Her recommended sentence is for a two-year term of imprisonment at a federal facility for the aggravated identity theft charge as well a court-determined term for the theft of government property charge before supervised release, per the plea agreement.Johnson’s father, identified in the indictment as “M.J.,” was a coal miner who died in 1980.
“Defendant Johnson further admitted that funds were withdrawn from the account and converted to her own personal use,” the plea agreement reads, adding that in interviews with federal agents she had also “accepted responsibility for receiving the Black Lung Benefits and UMWA Pension Funds as well as the erroneous SSA payments.”
She previously pleaded not guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge John H. England III at her arraignment on July 13, and was released on a bond of $5,000, per court records. In early August, she asked the court for permission to travel to New Orleans for three days to take her granddaughter to college, which the court granted.
