Mr. J, a Former Professor Series – Entry 27: Former Professor Seeks “Younger, Grounded” Woman to Share His Extraordinary Life and Possibly His Google Search Results
From professor to predator — and still hiding behind credentials.
This image is part of a publicly available Tinder profile, documented and submitted to QPS & TEQSA in April 2025. Used here solely for public ethics commentary and digital manipulation analysis.
As of June 2025, Patrick James Johnston’s Tinder bio remains live — despite ongoing documentation of manipulation, grooming dynamics, and institutional ethics filings. This is not a private moment. This is a public record.
In a bio that reads like the pitch for a Hallmark drama with red flags in the background, Pat Johnston — self-described “former professor turned full-time writer” — is seeking someone “younger, intelligent, beautiful, and emotionally grounded.”
The call to walk “a path of mutual care, passion, and kindness” comes after months of public reports detailing emotional coercion, blackmail attempts, and reputational fallout with both academic institutions and law enforcement.
While the ad boasts an “extraordinary life,” official records suggest that extraordinary may be more literal than he intended — featuring multiple ethics complaints, public backlash, and a now-defunct university affiliation.
As for the “mutual care” he mentions? Police advised all parties to cease contact and refer complaints to Substack.
Some paths, it seems, are better walked alone.
“I Have Led an Extraordinary Life” — A Self-Proclaimed Legacy
Public records tell a fuller story.
“I’m looking for someone equally remarkable to share it with.”
— Pat Johnston, former professor, full-time writer, and self-appointed man of letters

Let’s review the highlights of this extraordinary life:
Harassed a former partner for over three months through messages, threats, and late-night coercion.
Used his own daughter to assist in contacting and emotionally destabilizing said ex, when silence failed to gain control.
Published literary revenge disguised as poetry — despite being told repeatedly that the subject never consented to be written about.
Attempted to extort money in exchange for removing personal images, and threatened to report his former partner to the AFP and Immigration in an effort to destroy her future.
Now officially listed in police records, ethics complaints, and a report to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
And yet — he remains online, searching for “someone younger, emotionally grounded, and intelligent” to share this remarkable legacy with.
It’s unclear whether his next poem will be about healing, or just more yellow.

Note on Naming:
The subject of these verses is identified by name due to the severity of the public threats made during that period.
Naming is not intended to humiliate, but to preserve the integrity of the record and reflect the seriousness of the documented behavior.
While the individual has since responded publicly, the response has not addressed the core evidence. In such cases, visibility remains necessary. Selective rebuttal is not accountability.
