Emy Smith hasn't added a story.
Jean-Luc Johnson is 21 years old. He is the youngest of 6 kids and is the kindest, most caring person that I know. He has always gone above and beyond to help those in his life who needed him. He is my absolute most favorite person in the world. And he needs help
Jean-Luc was picked up by police on Friday while he was walking home from his job at UPS. His charges were attempted rape, assault, and robbery. A random woman called the police after allegedly being beaten senseless, and robbed of $150 cash and $150 worth of makeup.
She identified Jean-Luc as the person who assaulted and robbed her, and he was taken to jail. They are going forward with pressing charges. He obviously DID NOT DO THIS. He wouldn’t hurt another person for any reason, let alone in the manner he was accused of.
The police picked him up as he was TOWARD where this woman claims to have been assaulted, right on the sidewalk- after he’d gone inside a convenience store to get a soda for the walk home. He’d never seen this woman before, and had no idea what he was being held for until he’d been identified by the woman.
He was picked up with no makeup on him. The money he is alleged to have stolen was not found on him. He had no marks or swelling on his hands from where he allegedly beat up on her. No dirt or smudges on his clothes or backpack.
If someone hurt this woman, if someone robbed her, it was NOT Jean-Luc.
My little brother is a protector. He has always stood up for those who could not stand up for themselves. I have seen him put himself in front of people smaller, younger, weaker than him countless times as we were growing up. He has always gone out of his way to help others and would do anything for anyone who asked. He is selfless and compassionate. He is non-violent to a fault.
Anyone who knows him knows that he’s the LAST person who would harm a stranger on the street.
We are setting up crowd-funding to help with ongoing legal fees. Attempted rape is a felony. If he is not acquitted, he will be in jail for a very long time, he would have to register as a sex offender, and he wouldn’t be able to get a job for a LONG, LONG time, if ever. His life is just starting out, and this catastrophe has the potential to ruin it forever. Regardless of his innocence, these are dangerous waters. We need to work with the legal system to acquit him and that costs a LOT of money. We are not going to gamble with his freedom, we are going to hire the best of the best. We are looking at a long road ahead. It will take a ton of resources and time and money to combat this injustice. We ask everyone who knows and cares about him to contribute to this, as he will obviously need all the help he can get.
