MISCREANT PREACHERS: Child molestation in the Name of the Lord (#378 in a series)

Mugshot and headline: KABC Los Angeles, 8/27/2026

According to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office, 58-year-old David Johnson of Ojai worked as both a pastor and a massage therapist. He's accused of molesting two children under the age of 14.

The alleged abuse happened over several years at locations in Ojai and Oxnard, investigators say. Johnson reportedly had access to the children through a familial relationship.

Johnson faces four counts of lewd acts upon a child and two counts of continuous sexual abuse, along with the special allegations of substantial sexual conduct and the victims being under 14 years old.

"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear." (Isaiah 59:2)

Wisconsin 2026 elections: Democrat Stephanie Bodeen challenges 6-term Republican incumbent Nancy VanderMeer in the 70th Assembly District

Before redistricting, the GOP gerrymandered 70th sprawled southwest to northeast through northern Monroe County, eastern Jackson County, most of Wood County, and the northwest chunk of Portage County, where it packed the City of Stevens Point. (See below)

Redistricting shifted the boundaries of the district to the west. It now includes all of Jackson County, eastern Monroe County, and a chunk of southern Juneau County.

Maps and election results: Ballotpedia

Republican incumbent Nancy VanderMeer has a lock on a solidly red seat in the Assembly, which means Democratic challenger Stephanie Bodeen has a steep mountain to climb.

How conservative is the 69th? The presidential election results from Clark County (population 35,052) tell you all you need to know.

Malia Jones explains:

Two core concepts of gerrymandering were central to the arguments presented to the high court: cracking and packing. A third process, known as stacking, also crops up in gerrymandered political maps, but was not the focus of Gill v. Whitford.

Cracking and packing both refer to specific ways of drawing legislative boundaries with the outcomes of elections in mind. These two processes operate in tension with one another, but both can be implemented by a party in power seeking to maximize its electoral chances through gerrymandering.

Packing refers to the practice of drawing particular districts in such a way as to ensure that another party's candidate wins that seat by a tremendous margin. Although the opposing party is all but guaranteed the seat, packing makes surrounding districts less competitive, and thus tips the balance of power in the legislative body overall toward the ruling party.

Cracking involves drawing districts in such a way as to divide a concentration of specific types of voters across several districts such that they are a minority in each one, with practically no hope of achieving representation in any of the districts. This practice also helps make districts less competitive. [emphasis added]
