A man who previously lost a lawsuit claiming that he was raped by other inmates while in prison is now back behind bars after being found guilty of robbery. Thirty nine year old Roderick Johnson lost a federal civil rights lawsuit which he filed against the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2002.<\/p>\n
In that lawsuit Mr. Johnson was seeking unspecified damages after claiming that he was gang raped by inmates at the Allred Unit near Wichita Falls.<\/p>\n
He was there for eighteen months, and claims that he was raped almost on a daily basis according to his lawsuit. However, the jury found prison employees not guilty of violation of Johnson’s civil rights through ignoring his pleas.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson is now back behind bars after admitting to robbery, a crime for which he has now received a 19 year sentence. He went to a service station where he committed the robbery, handing over a note that claimed he had a gun and instructing the clerk to put money into a bag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
