In the middle of July, after summer school had ended, Mr. Johnstone let Jennie come over to his house. There they discussed how much they loved each other. Jennie also allowed him to take a lot of pictures of her, some of them indecent. At Mr. Johnstone's house, she also drank wine, smoked marijuana, and took upper and downer pills he gave her.

She continued to fall for his trap and let him brainwash her.

Answer: She listened to his phone messages.

Mr. Johnstone actually asked Jennie to marry him as soon as she turned fifteen. Near the end of July and into August, he claimed he didn't have much time to spend with her because he was making plans for them to move to another state and get married. One day Jennie went to Mr. Johnstone's house when he wasn't home and heard a phone message from his brother, urging him to move away before Jennie reported him.

He also said to bring all the indecent pictures he had taken of her. She also found out that Mr. Johnstone had been involved with other young girls before.

Answer: No

Jennie told her mom about how Mr. Johnstone had treated her, and they turned him in to the police. At the trial, he pleaded innocent, claiming Jennie was just trying to hurt him. Jennie and her mom had the trial put on hold while they went home and got the collection of notes he had written her and a necklace Mr. Johnstone had given her.

The judge had the necklace traced to the jeweler, and the notes were enough evidence to convict Mr. Johnstone. Jennie's father did come to visit the family during the trial, but he had already re-married. Police searched Mr. Johnstone's house and found all the pictures he had taken of Jennie.

He was thrown in jail, and his teaching licence was revoked.
