Former Nationals MP Michael Johnsen says he has been ‘vindicated’ after police revealed he won’t be charged over allegations he raped a sex worker.
“Following recommendations made by the DPP, there is insufficient admissible evidence to proceed with charges,” a NSW Police said in a statement.
The former MP said he was “formally cleared” of the allegation and that police would not take further action in relation to the claims. Former Upper Hunter Nationals MP Michael Johnsen said he was ‘vindicated’ after police decided not to charge him following allegations he sexually assaulted a woman.The claims that Mr Johnsen sexually assaulted the woman in the Blue Mountains and offered her $1000 for sex at NSW Parliament House were aired under parliamentary privilege.
He resigned from parliament following the claims which prompted a by-election in May in the seat of Upper Hunter. “They have destroyed my career and sullied my reputation, changed the democratically elected representative of an electorate mid-cycle in an unwanted by-election,” Mr Johnsen said.The Party Games newsletter
