A 41-year-old Savage man was sentenced to seven years in prison last month for sexually assaulting the teenage daughter of his roommate.

Shawn R. Johnson was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and was sentenced July 19 by Judge Christian Wilton in Scott County District Court.

According to a criminal complaint:

In June 2014, the girl and her father were living with Johnson in Savage when he started “hitting on her” and made sexual comments toward her. A sexual relationship eventually began between Johnson and the girl.

A report was filed with Scott County Protection regarding the relationship and the girl, her father and Johnson were all interviewed, but the victim did not tell anyone about the sexual activity.

When the girl’s father moved back in with his wife — the girl’s stepmother — the girl did not want to move as she felt Johnson cared for her. The girl was brought back to the family’s home in Shakopee and told Johnson to stay away from her.

In July 2015, the girl told Johnson she didn’t want to see him anymore and wanted to date guys her own age and told him not to contact her. Johnson would show up at her work and called to say he knew she had a boyfriend.

Johnson was arrested on Dec. 8, 2016 at his place work in Bloomington. During a search as part of the arrest, police found $980 cash and a vial of cocaine on Johnson. Johnson declined to provide a statement, only stating that his relationship with the girl was already looked into and he didn’t do anything.
