BENTONVILLE -- A Rogers woman is being held on $150,000 bond after she was arrested in connection with raping another woman.

Kersha Renee Johnson, 41, was arrested last week. She was ordered not to have any contact with the other woman.

The woman told a Benton County Sheriff's Office detective she went to Johnson's home after Johnson called her for help, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The woman said Johnson pulled down her top, pants and underwear and touched the woman inappropriately, according to the affidavit.

The woman said she left Johnson's home, but Johnson later came to her house and exposed herself, according to the affidavit.

Johnson denied touching the woman except for hugging her, but later admitted to engaging in sexual contact with the woman, according to the affidavit.

Johnson's arraignment is scheduled June 24 in Benton County Circuit Judge Brad Karren's courtroom.
