The wife of late Kentucky State Representative Dan Johnson (R), says she will seek his seat in the state legislature.

Rebecca Johnson told the Associated Press her husband’s death was a “high-tech lynching based on lies and half-truths.”

Johnson committed suicide Wednesday following allegations of sexual misconduct.

According to WBRD, Johnson ‘killed himself on a bridge on Greenwell Ford Road in Mt. Washington, and the gun was recovered.’

In December 2017, Johnson was accused of having molested a member of his church on New Year’s Eve of 2012 when she was seventeen years old.

Although the Republican Party of Kentucky requested his resignation, Johnson refused to resign, claiming the allegations were untrue and were politically motivated—no charges were ever filed against him.

Shortly before Johnson took his own life, he posted a message on Facebook:

A medical examiner will determine the exact cause of death.
