A man, who told officers that he wanted to “experiment with children,” has been convicted of molesting several children after a four-day trial in Hancock County.

Jericho Johnson worked with the YMCA and Shining Stars Academy until the crimes came to light after children at those places reported him.

Johnson’s conviction comes after a child at Shining Stars reported him and ten more children subsequently coming forward to say that Johnson had also molested them.

Johnson is set to be sentenced on July 18th.
