Johnson was questioned about the rape allegations at the Alberttown Police station and later released on self-bail as the investigations continune.
A senior police source has indicated that once the investigation file is completed, it will be forwarded to the the Police Force’s Legal Advisor and possibly the Office of the DPP for advice on possible charges.
In a Facebook post of his own after the allegations first surfaced, Johnson denied being abusive to the ex-girlfriend.
The two reportedly got involved in a relationship while he was 32 and the young woman was 16 years old.
