A 31-year-old North Texas man charged with child sexual assault has been missing since August, officials with the Collin County Sheriff’s Office said.

Officials with the sheriff’s office are asking for the public’s help to find the man, who they identified in a Facebook post as Robert Gregory Johnson III.

Johnson, a former Uber driver, is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old passenger after picking her up from a medical facility in Frisco on July 9, 2024, according to WFAA-TV.

The girl was supposed to be dropped off at her mother’s home, but Johnson pulled into the parking lot of a nearby shopping center and assaulted her, authorities said.

The girl told her therapist the next day about the incident. The therapist reported it to police, WFAA reported.

Johnson was arrested on July 17 and bonded out of jail five days later, officials with the sheriff’s office said.

Over a month later in August 2024, Johnson cut off his electronic ankle monitor and has been missing since, according to the Facebook post.

Johnson has family ties to Wylie, Dallas, Garland and North Louisiana, officials said. Anyone with information is urged to contact investigator Reid Golson at rgolson@collincountytx.gov or submit a tip via text by texting CCSO to 847411.
