Is 'Katie Johnson,' who accused Trump of child rape, facing criminal charges? Claim lacks evidence
No reputable journalists have obtained and published Katie Johnson's real address or name, making this claim impossible to substantiate.

• In early March 2026, a claim spread online that "Katie Johnson," a woman who accused U.S. President Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13, had been arrested and charged with crimes related to "fraud, theft and exploitation of an elderly person."
• "Katie Johnson" is likely a pseudonym, making it impossible to substantiate this claim because she has not confirmed her identity or revealed her real name.
• This claim appeared to originate from Facebook user Terrence K. Williams, a conservative, pro-Trump comedian who has previously spread false and unfounded claims debunked by Snopes. No reputable reports or credible sources have corroborated the claim, and searches for anyone arrested under the name "Katie Johnson" in locations connected to her returned no results.
• We've reached out to lawyers associated with Johnson to ask if they have information about the claim and will update this story if we learn more.
