Production note: Booking facts were manually checked against the exact underlying Corrections Records Search response captured August 1, 2026. A Georgia court search was not attempted because no Georgia case-document source is configured; docket D0313419 therefore remains unverified outside the roster. The roster did not publish charging statutes, bond information, or a disposition. Statutory sections are supplied only as legal context and are not asserted as this booking’s charging citations. The initial public-record text was generated with automation and substantially rewritten by the Registry Recognizer Editorial Desk. Editorial illustration selected from the Sex Crimes category library. It does not depict the charged person or the reported event.
DeKalb County’s Corrections Records Search identifies Scott Johnson, 42, as arrested at 10:07 a.m. and booked at 10:12 a.m. on July 31, 2026, at the DeKalb County Jail. The roster attributes the arrest to the Brookhaven Police Department.
The booking record lists four allegations: aggravated child molestation, child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and criminal attempt to commit a felony. It labels the first charge a “Serious Felony” and each of the other three a “Felony.” Docket number D0313419 appears with the final three charges; the aggravated child molestation entry does not display a docket number.
The roster does not publish statute numbers. For legal context only, Georgia law separately addresses child molestation and aggravated child molestation at O.C.G.A. § 16-6-4, enticing a child for indecent purposes at § 16-6-5, and criminal attempt at § 16-4-1. Those sections are not represented here as the charging citations for this booking because the source record does not provide them.
A booking record documents allegations, not a finding of guilt. Johnson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty, and the source reviewed for this report records no conviction, plea, dismissal, sentence, or other disposition.
