A federal judge has ruled in favor of former Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson in a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by police officer Cynthia Donald. The lawsuit, which alleged that Johnson coerced Donald into engaging in sexual acts to maintain her job as his personal driver, was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo.
Judge Bucklo cited evidence that suggested Donald willingly participated in the relationship with Johnson, leading to the dismissal of all claims against him without a trial. Johnson's attorney, Michael Leonard, reiterated that his client had always maintained the relationship was consensual.
