SIDNEY – A Youngstown man has been indicted for sexual misconduct with a minor by the Shelby County grand jury. The case is one of several that involved alleged sex offenses.

Clifton G. Johnson, Jr., 50, has been charged with importuning, a fifth-degree felony, and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a third-degree felony.

The importuning charge stems from Johnson’s alleged use of a telecommunications device to entice a 15-year-old girl to have sex with him. The misconduct charge is based on his having intercourse with a person at least 10 years younger than him, but under the age of 16.

Bradley Stangel, 30, West Milton, was indicted for gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony, and rape, a first-degree felony, according to online court records.
