The document says that several other people were at his house as well.
At some point, both the victim and her boyfriend went upstairs and fell asleep.
Later in the night, the victim said that she woke up to someone having unprotected sex with her. She originally thought it was her boyfriend until she she saw that he was on the other side of her, still asleep.
Police said that the victim pushed the man away and asked who he was. The victim said that she went into the bathroom and turned on the light to see that the man was Johnson.
