EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University football signee Steffan Johnson was arrested Thursday for extorting an underage girl for sex.

According to a police report from North Point, Florida, Johnson, 18, threatened to post a video of the underage girl performing sexual acts after she refused to have sex with him.

Prior to sending the video, Johnson went to the victim’s home and asked her to meet him outside at the end of the street. She agreed.

The report said while they were outside, Johnson tried to kiss her, but she said no and went back into her house.

When she went home, the victim reported that Johnson sent her a text message that included a video of her performing sexual acts. During the time of the video, the victim was 15.

Johnson is to be arraigned on June 11.
