“Ultimately, ensuring this pervert could never go near this young child again and have the opportunity to do anything else perverted was our main goal in this case,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Anyone who thinks they can victimize a child in Flagler County and get away will find themselves in jail or prison. Another great job by our detectives, partners, and the State Attorney’s Office holding this pervert accountable.”
The investigation that resulted in Williams’ arrest was led by the FCSO Cyber Crimes/Internet Crimes Against Children Unit following a Cyber Tip reported by the FBI and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. FCSO was assisted in the investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and the Northeast Florida Inter-Agency Child Exploitation and Persons Trafficking Task Force.
Williams is currently being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he will serve his jail sentence.
