During the plea, prosecutors stated that prior to the victim turning 13
years old Williams had sexually touched the victim and had sex with the
victim on multiple occasions.
Judge William Workman accepted set William’s plea and set a sentencing
hearing for 2:30 p.m. on January 15, 2019.
Each count of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child carries a
possible sentence of between 6 and 60 years in the Illinois Department
of Corrections, followed by between 3 years and natural life of
mandatory supervised release (formerly called parole), and Williams must
serve 85% of the sentence. Each count is mandatory consecutive to the
other. Meaning, Williams is eligible for a sentence between 12 and 120
years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Probation is not a
possibility.
