DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) — A former Alabama prosecutor was found guilty of six corruption charges for soliciting sexual favors from at least three women who he was also prosecuting for crimes. Houston County former Assistant District Attorney Mark Johnson was accused of using his role as a prosecutor to ask for sexual photos and to hire a sex worker. A jury found Johnson guilty on three counts of soliciting anything for a corrupt purpose, and three counts of intentional use of office for personal gain. The six charges include three felonies and three misdemeanors. Johnson was taken into custody ahead of a sentencing hearing and his lawyers have requested bond.
