Harvey Wayne Johnson
Bulloch County Superior Court Judge F. Gates Peed sentenced a former city of Statesboro employee Wednesday to 25 years to serve, without parole, for multiple child molestation charges. Harvey Wayne Johnson, 68, Cleary Road, Brooklet, who was Statesboro’s water and sewer department director and worked with the city over 30 years, is also designated as a “sexual predator” after entering the guilty plea. Johnson was charged in January with one count of aggravated child molestation, two counts of child molestation, three counts of enticing a child for indecent purposes, and four counts of sexual exploitation of children, but in a plea agreement admitted guilt to all charges except enticing a child of indecent purposes.
