A Missouri prosecutor was removed from office after she allegedly engaged in an affair with an illegal immigrant her office was investigating for sexual assault, then failed to prosecute him because of the relationship. Ray County Prosecutor Camille Johnston allegedly carried on a romantic relationship with the Mexican national, who had been living in the country illegally since 2019 and at one point lived with Johnston, according to court documents. It is just one of three affairs she’s accused of participating in that authorities say created multiple conflicts of interest. According to court documents, Johnston failed to disclose the relationship to the sexual assault victim, law enforcement, and employees in her office and “failed to bring any criminal charges because of her relationship with” the Mexican national. At one point, the illegal immigrant fled to Mississippi, where Johnston paid him a visit before they vacationed in Florida together, court documents allege. The prosecutor also drove her car to Mississippi in 2023 and gave the fugitive the title to her vehicle, according to court documents. Authorities caught up with him in 2024, arresting him in Ohio. The alleged sexual assault occurred while Johnston and the man were involved in the relationship, KSHB reported. The allegation is one of several accusations of misconduct against Johnston, including claims that she engaged “in an intimate and romantic relationship with a criminal defense attorney representing numerous criminal defendants” in cases brought by her office, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said in a press release Thursday. Johnston was eventually disqualified from prosecuting the sexual assault case, according to court documents. Hanaway accused Johnston of treating her office like her “personal playground.” “When an elected official treats public office like their personal playground, betraying the public trust, ignoring legal obligations, and putting self-interest first, removal isn’t a suggestion, it’s a necessity,” Hanaway said. “Johnston’s record reflects a sustained pattern of misconduct and willful neglect that has undermined the integrity of the prosecutor’s office and poses a serious threat to public safety. In Missouri, public office is public trust, not a personal entitlement, and no one is above accountability,” she said. In another alleged example of Johnston’s misconduct, the prosecutor engaged in “another romantic relationship” with a married domestic violence suspect, according to court documents. When an employee in her office learned of the affair, Johnston fired her, per court documents. Police later learned of the inappropriate relationship and requested that a special prosecuting attorney take over the case. Johnston was ultimately disqualified from prosecuting the domestic violence case.
