Spring Man Denied Bail in Alleged Kidnapping and Sexual Assault of 15-Year-Old Student

Prosecutors are using Texas' new Proposition 3 to keep him jailed pending trial.

Overview

  • Johnny Ray Green, 43, was arrested this week and charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault of a child.
  • A judge denied bail Tuesday, and he remains in Harris County Jail as prosecutors plan to ask that he be held without bond under Proposition 3.
  • Investigators linked him to the September attack through a CODIS DNA match from a sexual assault exam, surveillance video of a red Ram pickup, and the victim's Jan. 8 photo identification.
  • Police say the teenager agreed to enter his truck after he said he would drive her to a police station, reported being assaulted at a residence, and was later dropped off near the school.
  • Spring ISD police are seeking any additional victims, and court records note Green's prior felony convictions and a 2021 child sex abuse case dismissed in 2023; he is expected to appear in court Thursday.
