High School Assistant Principal Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Young Girl

According to reports, a California high school assistant principal was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a young girl who was 7 or 8 years old at the time of the assault. 

Matthew Lin Johnson, 42, was taken into custody and charged with suspicion of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14. The victim reportedly told authorities that Johnson abused her "multiple times" over the course of two years.
