Joel Todd Johnson, 61, was sentenced to the following:

• Seven to 15 years for criminal sexual conduct with a person under the age of 13
• Five to 20 years for producing child pornography
• 260 days and restitution for embezzlement from $1K to $20K

He must also register as a lifetime sex offender and wear electronic tether monitoring.

Johnson is the former Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds for Berrien County.

He was arrested in July 2022 after an 11-year-old girl discovered his cell phone recording her as she took a shower.

At the time, Johnson was a construction contractor and was hired to remodel a bathroom.

Investigators found over 200 images of child pornography, including some created in his home, on his laptop, according to reports.
