Christine Johanson Sentenced Again
Posted by: Webmaster in Elementary Schools, FE-MV, Hall of Shame, Junior High Schools, Oregon, Teacher's Aides, WashingtonChristine Marie Johanson, 36, a former teacher’s assistant at Hudson Park Elementary School has been sentenced in Columbia County, Washington for the third-degree rape of a 15-year-old male student at Rainier Junior/Senior High School in Rainier, Washington Oregon.
Johanson was sentenced on four counts of third-degree rape, receiving 90 days in jail on each of the counts, with the sentences to run consecutively and with no reductions of time possible meaning she will serve 360 days in jail.
Johanson must surrender herself to the county jail Thursday at 5 p.m. to start the first of her four sentences.
Circuit Court Judge Ted Grove said, “I do believe that a significant period of incarceration is appropriate.” However the judge departed from the 30 month prison sentence requested by the prosecution owing to the belief that Johanson is amenable to sex offender treatment. Since sex offender treatment is not available in Oregon state prison, Grove decided to keep Johanson in the Columbia County Jail where her therapist can and will continue her treatment.
The six month sentence that Johanson received in Cowlitz County, Washington after pleading guilty to sex with the same boy in that country will run concurrent with the Columbia County, Oregon sentence.
Reportedly, after discovery of Johanson’s relationship with the boy, he acted out inappropriately in class and would shout that he should get “special privileges because he’d had sex with a teacher.” The victim’s mother soon moved him to another school district. He has been undergoing therapy for a year and reportedly, “He has had a decrease in self-esteem. He covers that by swaggering and boasting.”

The judge was too soft on this woman. She was old enough to be his mom. How low and pathetic for a woman to be to have sex with some that young. He was a kid and she was close to 40. Wjat’s the attraction other than she’s a child molester.
