SILVER SPRING, MD — A driving instructor from Silver Spring has been charged with inappropriately touching two female students — one of them a minor — during their lessons this year, authorities said. Leon Anthony Johnson Jr., 55, was arrested after the 16-year-old student reported the incidents to Montgomery County police. On Aug. 31, the teen reported that Johnson, an instructor at Greg's Driving School, had "inappropriately touched her and attempted to engage her in inappropriate sexual conversation on two occasions," authorities said. Upon further investigation, police said they learned about the second victim, a 23-year-old woman. She told investigators that Johnson inappropriately touched her during a driving lesson on Sept. 11. Johnson was arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree assault, according to court records. He was released on a $6,000 bond. Police ask that any victims of Johnson call 240-773-5400.
