Johnson is accused of pimping a 19-year-old woman in Orange County and posting explicit photos of the woman on websites that advertise commercial sex.
Both defendants are accused of pandering and conspiring to pimp an 18-year-old woman, driving her from Las Vegas to Orange County to engage in prostitution for their benefit.
