A Youngstown man accused of raping a child as young as eight is being held in the Mahoning County jail on fifteen sex-related counts.

Thirty-nine-year-old Butler Johnson was booked into the jail Tuesday.

Authorities have been looking for Johnson since last week when the Mahoning County Grand Jury handed up a fifteen-count indictment that includes charges of rape, attempted rape, gross sexual imposition, and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

According to the indictment, the alleged crimes began in early 2014 when the alleged victim was eight years old and continued for five years until 2019.
