DNA leads to rape charge

OKLAHOMA CITY D-N-A submitted by probation violator has led to rape charges against the man for the 1999 assault of a 9-year-old girl.

Kenneth Johnson faces six counts of rape, sodomy and kidnapping. He's accused of abducting and raping the girl in southwest Oklahoma City in December 1999 as she walked home from a friend's house.

Johnson was required to submit a D-N-A sample after being sent to prison in February 2005 for violating probation. He has previous felony convictions for burglary, embezzlement and drug possession.

The D-N-A was later matched to D-N-A evidence recovered from the victim.
