Kendrick Johnson Charged with Sexual Assault

A 34-year-old Gainesville man was charged Wednesday with sexual assault, accused of forcing himself on a female victim at a home on Northwest 10th Street.

Kendrick Rischard Johnson of 212 N.W. Fourth Place in Gainesville has been charged with sexual assault on a victim over 12 years old and aggravated battery using a deadly weapon.

Police believe the attack occurred at about 5 a.m. Wednesday, after which Officer Charles Dorminey was dispatched to the home. When Dorminey arrived, he said Alachua County sheriff's deputies were already at the home to serve a warrant on Johnson.

It was at this point that the assault victim told officers that Kendrick had persuaded her into a bedroom, then punched her several times in the head and face and told her to remove her clothing. After that, Kendrick sexually assaulted her, the victim said.

Kendrick was being held Wednesday at the Alachua County jail on $100,000 bond.
