Marcus C. Johnson, 26, was charged with two counts of sexual battery after two Clark County jail inmates performed sexual acts on him in December of last year. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of gross sexual imposition as part of a plea deal.
He was sentenced to three years probation and apologized for his actions in court Wednesday.
He was arrested in connection to the crimes on Dec. 31, and resigned from his position as a deputy hours later, officials said.
A court affidavit shows Johnson exposed himself in the jail kitchen and asked an “inmate that she perform oral sex on him.” When questioned about that incident, Johnson reportedly admitted that he had oral sex performed on him by the inmate, the affidavit shows.

“The sheriff’s office immediately opened a criminal investigation into these alleged actions and placed two employees on administrative leave,” Clark County Sheriff Deb Burchett said in a statement.
A Springfield News-Sun investigation revealed that Johnson was passed over by the Miami Twp. Police Department when he applied to become a police officer there because of questionable activity he admitted to during a polygraph test.
One of the lengthiest sections of the polygraph report is when officers summarized what Johnson told them about his sex activities.
The report says he told Miami Twp. police that while he was working as a police officer for Wilberforce University in 2016, he had sex with a woman in a closed fitness room on campus while he was off-duty.
Johnson also admitted to visiting what he called a “swinger’s club” in Dayton in 2016 to have sex.
He also admitted to police that in 2013, he gave a woman gas money in exchange for sex, officials said.
Johnson also told police during the polygraph exam that he watched porn on his cellphone at work at least four or five times, the report said.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has launched an internal investigation into the matter, officials said.
