Alabama woman tied up, sodomized unconscious man who was under the influence of date-rape drug, claim investigators
A Tuscaloosa County, Alabama woman has been accused of sexually torturing a man while he was unconscious and under the influence of a date-rape drug.
36-year-old Jennifer Marie Johnson, of Northport, was charged with sexual torture and abuse after police who were investigating another case against her uncovered explicit videos on her phone, according to the Tuscaloosa News, which obtained court documents filed in connection to the case.
Johnson was first arrested on May 10 by Northport Police officers after they pulled her over while she was driving a 2013 Honda Civic reported stolen in Jefferson County. She told officers that she works as a prostitute and had traded her 1998 Ford Mustang for the Civic and $500 cash.
But officers charged her with first-degree receiving stolen property, telling her that her Mustang had a resale value of $1,000 to $3,500 and that she should have known the Civic, worth between $10,000 to $13,000, was stolen because of the difference in the cars’ values.
She was already in jail facing those charges when investigators who were searching her phone came across a video that appeared to show the 36-year-old sodomizing a male victim with a sex toy.
They used the data from the video to determine that the incident occurred at around 7 am on March 19 at a Cottondale residence on Hargrove Road East near Curry Road.
Police were reportedly able to identify and speak to the man in the video, who is said to be in his mid-20s, and learned that he was drugged at the time. They did not release any further details in order to protect his identity.
They said the victim was physically helpless and unable to respond as he was under the influence of GHB (gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid), a psychoactive drug that is illegally used as an intoxicant, as an athletic performance enhancer, and, like in this case, as a date-rape drug.
In a deposition, a Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit investigator wrote that, in the video, the victim's mouth, wrists, and hands were bound with duct tape and that Johnson could be seen laughing.
"The victim does not regain consciousness during or after the incident," the investigator also noted in the deposition, which was filed on Thursday, June 20.
At one point, Johnson threatened the victim and said, "If you scoop out and talk about stealing my homeboy’s truck, this is definitely what I’m going to do to you."
"Scooping out" refers to losing consciousness while on GHB.
Johnson is currently being held at the Tuscaloosa County Jail on an $80,000 bond.
