The woman who filed a police report about being drugged and raped by Southern Charm’s, JD Madison has been accused of lying about the incident. Mount Pleasant police have charged Susan Johnson, pictured above, with filing a false police report. No charges were ever filed on JD Madison; although,JD Madison was recently arrested for writing bad checks.
Johnson claimed she was assaulted on Aug. 21, 2017. But she waited to report it to police until over a year later on Aug. 28, 2018. The police now claim her dates did not match up and her story began to fall apart. Johnson initially told investigators that she was sexually assaulted the night of the solar eclipse but date she provided was not the day of the eclipse.
In her police report, she claimed that JD Madison intentionally broke a glass,. Then, while she cleaned the glass up it up, Madison slipped a drug in her drink. She reported that she we went to a restaurant with JD Madison, another male and a female friend. While there, she began feeling drunker than she should have been. Then she woke up to JD Madison forcibly raping her.
She was arrested today and booked into the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center. This jail is a place frequented by many of the Southern Charm men. The judge set bail at $10,000, and she has bonded out.
I hope she gets hard time. Lying about a sexual assault makes things even more difficult for true victims to be believed. She needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Update: Johnson is fighting the charges and maintains that she was raped by JD Madison.
Omg… he may sleep around but not even JD would tap that ? she saw dollar signs
Seriously? Wouldn’t tap that? Rape isn’t about what someone would tap. She lied. Still to judge rape by what someone would tap is irresponsible. Rapist aren’t looking for arm candy, they are violent cri I als looking for control.
That’s the downfall of being a minor celebrity, people are after you for some nefarious reason. I, too, hope she gets locked up then has to pay his legal fees.
I am not going to comment on the woman’s looks, because men who see themselves in power do assault women we might not consider traditional beauties for many, many reasons.
What I will comment on is this. Nothing undoes the work or progress of #MeToo than lying opportunists like this. JD makes my skin crawl, but this should not have happened to him.
Well by not commenting you just did you stupid fuck.
Piss off, you. Asswipe.
Yes, why was that comment made and why so ugly?
I have no words…
Shame on her for casting a shadow of doubt on REAL victims. Its twats like this that give free reign to question real assault survivors.
STOP commenting on her looks.
It negates any good points you have.
JD May be a POS but he does not deserve to be falsely accused.
Devil’s advocate position: she doesn’t know squat about weather and screwed up with the eclipse thing. Seriously, if she was lying wouldn’t she have her story nailed down and perfect? And the Charleston good ole boys justice system did what they do best and shined her on. Also pretty disgusted at the personal comments because we ALL KNOW THAT ONLY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN GET RAPED. Idiots, I swear.
Your ringing true right now.
Her date for the solar eclipse is absolutely correct! It was August 21st! I will never forget it because I watched it!
Exactly. Bitches like this make i harder for true charges to stick.
The people on this site are always so primed and ready to viciously attack another woman when given half a chance.
Guess I should say *some* people
I saw exactly one comment on her looks.
Really unfortunate this happened.
What a shame this woman let everyone down in this way.
It just makes it even harder for true victims to be believed and it casts a shadow over men who may not have crossed the line on the complained about occasion, or at all.
Congratulations to the detectives who sorted the facts out!
It is unfortunate that someone would be so calculated to falsely accuse someone of any crime. I have no love for JD but this is wrong and I hope she pays dearly for this crime.
We’re all experiencing a heightened sense of anger, fear, disbelief and frustration. I just want to say something about it and how I calm my fears if that’s ok.
We are living a completely different life experience than any other generation this world has ever known because of our fluid ability to communicate. The printing press was the standard for centuries after centuries of hand written everything, prior clay tablets, prior cave walls and always, word of mouth.
Crimes, wars, evil, nice, peace, protection have always been here. We just didn’t have the ability to communicate like we do now. There have always been good people, liars and cheats. There have always been “stories”, “ever afters” but there is always an ending. I think the truth always comes to light as well.
This makes me so sad. Assault/rape has nothing to do with desire or looks. It’s all about power and domination. I only have an opinion of him from what I’ve seen and read. And those things make me believe he’s capable of the charges. Now because someone lied, who knows why, an actual victim will be hesitant to come forward. Not just in this case. You don’t have to be on television to be an asshole.
No one deserves to be falsely accused. Even J.D.. So many have suffered at the hands of sexual predators. It makes me sick to think that because of this type situation, a real predator will likely point to what happened here saying that people are accused all the time when it isn’t true.
It stinks her looks are part of the discussion.
Dstat, nicely stated.
It’s tough to know how to respond to something like this. I often wonder how many of these false accusers might be suffering from some sort of break with reality/delusions. I know some people probably just straight up lie. It’s really hard to understand though. I really hope JD hasn’t sexually victimized anyone, because now it will be that much more difficult to come forward.
This is a shame for so many reasons. No one, not even JD, deserves to be falsely accused. Elizabeth did not deserve to be hurt, what hurts Elizabeth hurts the kids.
If I were defending TRav, this would be an avenue I would explore to create reasonable doubt; this reality TV is a relatively new medium and makes some people targets for all kinds of nonsense. And that could be exploited to undermine Nanny Dawn’s story.
Nanny Dawn and the other survivors who came forward have yet another obstacle to overcome on the way to obtain justice.
Question: I thought there was a drug/tox screen and rape kit. I guess I am confused.
It is unfortunate if this woman lied. It makes it harder for legitimate victims to actually be believed or want to come forward. But this is also why our justice system is based on a presumption of innocence until proven guilty. JD is still a disgusting scumbag regardless of whether this woman lied.
Side note: the eclipse was definitely end of August in 2017. I will never forget because it was just a few days to a week later that Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and flooded my hometown of Houston. By the way there are still people who are not back in their homes.
I thought the alleged assault was in 2018 thus the date would be wrong.
The total solar eclipse was on August 21, 2017. In fact Charleston was packed with visitors because it was the last spot in the continental US where you could view it.
JD is a scumbag but like others said even he doesn’t deserve to be falsely accused of such a terrible crime. This lady definitely deserves to have the book thrown at her for diminishing the real claims of true victims.
Ah, I for some reason I thought the allegation was made in 2018 for 2018. TIME FLIES! We have been talking about this since 2017!!!
The story was it happened in 2017 but she didn’t report it until a year later, 2018 which I always thought was really strange, so the news only broke this past year. I sure didn’t see this coming. I guess I shouldn’t have been so quick to judge. I’m sorry for Elizabeth, who seems like a good person, and their children.
Given the way people act online, and this show seems to attract a lot of it, I’m not really surprised by this. Jesus, stop stalking people. “They have an instagram” or “they’re on reality tv” is really not an excuse to act like a turd yourself. WTF did you do before you had a phone glued to your hand??
People commenting on this woman’s looks are probably the first ones to get in line to dogpile somebody, warranted or not. Get a grip, FFS.
I know it’s never going to stop.
There were several first time comments from new people in moderation today where that is all they want to talk about. A mugshot is not generally the best representative of someone’s looks.
Hot mugshot guy who got with that fashion retail heiress got really lucky! Sorry. I hate seeing ppl comment on someone’s attractiveness in regards to rape and basing their opinions on a mugshot. I’m sure if I ever had a mugshot, it would not result in a modeling gig or Z-list fame.
you fail again.
Who failed at what?
