The woman was able to escape from him when he was interrupted by her mother, Putnam County deputies said.
Johnson claims that what was going on was consensual, according to a police report.
Johnson was 34-year-old Rebecca Ware's boyfriend at the time of her disappearance in October.
Ware has not been seen or heard from since Oct. 29 when she left her workplace, Hydro Aluminum North America, in St. Augustine Shores.
