A 35-year-old Mountain Home man, initially charged with soliciting sex online from what he believed was a 14-year-old Missouri boy, has had a new charge filed against him.
Adam Michael Johnson appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court Monday and entered a not guilty plea to the new allegations. He had pled not guilty to his initial charges on March 11.
The new accusations stemmed from a search of Johnson’s cellphone seized by law officers after his first arrest.
During that search, according to the probable cause affidavit in the newly opened case, a number of images of prepubescent males were found.

A 35-year-old Mountain Home man charged with soliciting sex online from what he believed was a 14-year-old Missouri boy appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.
Adam Michael Johnson entered a not guilty plea to the charge against him.
Johnson is alleged to have “chatted” with the “boy” over the internet in an attempt to lure him into a meeting in Mountain Home for sex.
However, Johnson was actually swapping written messages with a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper posing as the teenager.
A search warrant has been served on Johnson’s property to determine whether he had arranged similar meetings with actual underage victims, or committed other internet sex crimes.

A 35-year-old Mountain Home man is jailed on a $75,000 bond, after he allegedly set up a meeting with a 14-year-old Missouri boy to engage in sexual activity.
Michael Adam Johnson was booked into the Baxter County Detention Center shortly after noon Thursday after being arrested by special agents from the Arkansas State Police (ASP) Criminal Investigation Division.
According to a news release from ASP, Johnson allegedly lured what he thought was a teenager into the meeting, but was communicating the entire time with a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper assigned to the Drug and Crime Control Division. The trooper, posing as a teenager, had engaged in an internet conversation with Johnson, who subsequently propositioned the undercover officer and arranged the meeting in Mountain Home for the purpose of engaging in sex.
