Ray County Prosecutor Camille Johnston Removed Over Migrant Defendant Affair

Attorney General Catherine Hanaway's petition says Johnston gave her undocumented boyfriend a car title to help him flee assault charges.

  • Johnston allegedly gave the undocumented defendant a vehicle's title to help him flee, per the petition.
  • She also carried on an intimate relationship with a defense lawyer handling her own cases.
  • A Ray County judge granted Hanaway's petition, ordering Johnston's immediate removal from office.

Why it matters: The official who decides which migrants face charges chose one man to help escape them.
