The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual assault, but Williams has allowed her name to be used in previous stories. “I pray that after so many years we finally get justice, people can finally relax, and I can finally sleep at night.” “I am so happy and stunned at the arrest of that man,” one of his alleged victims, Ophelia Williams, said in a statement released by MORE2, a civil rights organization. A pretrial hearing was scheduled for Oct. Monday on whether he should remain behind bars before his trial.
