The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office has arrested a West Bank pastor, after the mother of a 16 year old girl alleges her daughter was in a sexual relationship with Pastor Bryan K. Johnson.

After presenting them with electronic evidence that a sexual relationship was happening between the 49-year-old pastor and her 16-year-old daughter, investigators told her they could not investigate further without the cooperation of her daughter.

About the handling of the investigation, JPSO Spokesman Col. John Fortunato said, “Until such time that a crime could be established, we couldn't proceed further with the investigation. Once we were able to establish the fact that she was a victim, we then applied for an arrest warrant for Bryan Johnson."

He's a regular fixture during services at a number of Baptist churches on the West Bank.

Flyers show Johnson is affiliated with two West Bank churches: Vineyard Ministries in Westwego and Greater Cypress Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Algiers.
