A Kentucky state representative who was under investigation for allegedly sexually molesting a teenage girl committed suicide Wednesday night, authorities said.
Republican State Rep. Dan Johnson, 57, fatally shot himself on a bridge in Mount Washington, WDRB-TV reported, citing Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell.
Johnson was accused of molesting a 17-year-old girl at a New Year's party in 2012, according to a Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting expose published Monday.
He allegedly forced himself on the girl, putting his hands up her shirt and down her pants, the report revealed.
Cops closed the case and Johnson was never charged.
Johnson would often refer to himself as the "Pope" of his Heart of Fire church in Louisville and boasted about his supposed heroic acts during Sept. 11.
He posted a message on Facebook at around 5 p.m. denying the sexual misconduct allegations against him.
