The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is actively reaching out to the community in search of potential additional victims following the arrest of a former foster parent on charges of child sexual assault. According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, 42-year-old Jason Allen Johns was taken into custody after being connected to crimes against children.
Johns, who had served as a foster parent to the initially reported victim, is currently held at El Paso County Jail. During the investigation, the Sheriff’s Office SVU detectives began to unravel a series of additional allegations against Johns spread over more than a decade. This significant timeline suggests that other victims might slowly come forward as the case continues to grow.
The Sheriff's Office has extended an urgent invitation for anyone with pertinent information or those who feel they might have been impacted by the suspect's actions to contact their Tip Line. They provided the number, 719-520-7777, to facilitate the process for individuals to disclose their experiences safely. The investigators emphasize that the probe into John's past behavior is far from over and remains highly active.
