A top Missouri prosecutor was booted for having an affair with an illegal migrant her office was probing for sex assault \u2014 and because she slept with two other men in glaring conflicts of interest, too, court papers allege.<\/p>\n

Disgraced Ray County Prosecutor Camille Johnston was yanked from her position Thursday when a judge signed off on Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway\u2019s petition laying out a slew of misconduct allegations against her during her three and a half years in office, Hanaway announced.<\/p>\n

Johnston \u2014 an elected official who took office Jan. 1, 2023 \u2014 compromised the integrity of her office for three men she had affairs with, Hanaway alleged.<\/p>\n

In the most egregious case, Johnston helped her former live-in boyfriend \u2014 a Mexican national who had been in the US illegally since 2019 \u2014 go on the lam to evade arrest on sexual-assault allegations that same year, .<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear when the pair may have stopped dating, but Johnston not only failed to disqualify herself from the ensuing investigation of her ex-beau \u2014 who the court papers refer to as J.G. \u2014 but she helped him elude the law by driving to Mississippi, where he was hiding, in 2023 and giving him her car, along with the vehicle\u2019s title, the filing alleges.<\/p>\n

Johnston also went on a vacation with J.G. in Florida, the documents claim.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor had been dating J.G. at the time he allegedly attacked the other woman, according to local outlet KSHB. Johnston has claimed in court papers that she did not find out about the sexual-assault allegation against J.G. until after they stopped seeing each other.<\/p>\n

J.G. was finally busted in Ohio in 2024, and he\u2019s awaiting trial for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman.<\/p>\n

Johnston kept her relationship with J.G. \u201cfrom the victim, law enforcement, her office personnel and all others, and failed to bring any criminal charges because of her relationship with J.G.,\u201d the court papers claim.<\/p>\n

She was eventually forced to be disqualified from his case.<\/p>\n

KSHB reported that the facts laid out in Hanaway\u2019s petition regarding Johnston\u2019s fling with J.G. match stories by the outlet in September revealing the prosecutor\u2019s relationship with a man with the same initials \u2014 Juan David Gutierrez \u2014 who was arrested for the alleged sexual assault on a woman in 2019.<\/p>\n

Johnston also allegedly had two other inappropriate relationships while in office: one with a lawyer who defended cases she was prosecuting and the other with a married domestic-violence suspect.<\/p>\n

Johnston allegedly fired an employee in her office who confronted her about her fling with the domestic-violence suspect, the court papers allege.<\/p>\n

The ex-prosecutor is currently in a relationship with a defense lawyer \u2014 referred to in court papers only as T.T. \u2014 who represented defendants she was prosecuting.<\/p>\n

The illicit duo kept their relationship hidden even though Johnston should have disclosed it each time she and T.T. were on the opposite sides of the same case so she could ask for a special prosecutor to take her place, the filing claims.<\/p>\n

The third man she was having sex with \u2014 referred to in court papers as C.W. \u2014 was charged with domestic violence against his wife, the documents allege. When someone in Johnston\u2019s office confronted her about the fact that the tryst presented a conflict, she fired them, the court papers claim.<\/p>\n

A cop discovered Johnston and C.W.\u2019s fling and requested a special prosecutor replace her, the documents said.<\/p>\n

Johnston has likely committed corruption and hindering prosecution, the court papers charge. The judge removing Johnston Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen an elected official treats public office like their personal playground, betraying the public trust, ignoring legal obligations, and putting self-interest first, removal isn\u2019t a suggestion, it\u2019s a necessity,\u201d Hanaway said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohnston\u2019s record reflects a sustained pattern of misconduct and willful neglect that has undermined the integrity of the prosecutor\u2019s office and poses a serious threat to public safety. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn Missouri, public office is public trust, not a personal entitlement, and no one is above accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnston\u2019s lawyer, Chad Gardner, did not return a Post request for comment Friday.<\/p>\n
