New Video Documents Kevin Johnson’s History of Sexual Abuse Allegations, Calls for His Immediate Resignation
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- A new video released today by the California-based Courage Campaign and Sacramento Collective for Women’s Rights exposes Kevin Johnson’s history of alleged sexual assault and harassment of underage girls and women and calls for his immediate resignation as Mayor of Sacramento. Courage Campaign will promote the video with paid ads on Facebook and YouTube targeting Sacramento parents and voters.

“Enough is enough. Allegations of child sexual abuse and harassment have followed Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson for years -- from being accused of inappropriate sexual contact with at least three young students and volunteers at his charter school, St. HOPE, to allegedly sexually harassing and groping a female subordinate staffer and a city employee,” explained Laura Leavitt, Campaign Manager of Courage Campaign. “The newly surfaced police video and audio recordings of one of the young survivors of his alleged sexual abuse -- who was 16 years old at the time of the recordings and alleged abuse -- is the final straw. She testifies to police and confronts Kevin Johnson, describing how Johnson molested and sexually abused her, and made her ‘pinky promise’ that she wouldn’t tell anyone.”
“These alleged crimes have never impacted Johnson's rise to Sacramento mayor because, as has been publicly recorded, he made legal settlements that forced the survivors of his alleged abuse into silence. But his money and fame can't protect him anymore. Mayor Johnson has already announced that he will not seek re-election, but that's not good enough. He does not deserve to represent the people of Sacramento for one more day. He must go now! The evidence is clear. We hope that our video will help further expose the truth behind these allegations and force Mayor Johnson to resign,” added Leavitt.
"We hope that our video, which exposes Mayor Kevin Johnson's well-documented history of alleged sexual abuse and harassment, moves the conversation forward -- past mere hand-wringing -- and into action. We urge everyone to watch the video and demand that Mayor Kevin Johnson step down immediately," says Michelle Pariset, Co-Founder of the Sacramento Collective for Women’s Rights.

Do you know Kevin Johnson?
Feminist or 'feminist' Hillary Clinton knows Kevin Johnson.
Chris Megerian
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is speaking before Hillary Clinton. (He's faced heavy scrutiny for sexual assault allegations.)
Hillary Clinton thanks Kevin Johnson for his support. There are some boos from the crowd.
Shaun King
A damn mess. This man shouldn't even be in public office. Shocked that Hillary would allow him to introduce her.
Nikhil Goyal
Hillary Clinton is providing a platform for sexual predator Kevin Johnson.
Hillary decided to share the stage with him.
B-b-but she said victims of assault should be believed!
Yes, she did.
In September of last year, in Cedar Falls, Iowa, Hillary declared, "Today I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault. Don't let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed and we're with you."
She offers a lot of empty words.
Hillary knows Kevin Johnson.
And still went ahead and shared a stage with him.
