A monster got caught on tape: 41-year-old Marshall Williams recorded his sickening abuse of a 5-year-old girl in March 2024. The victim’s aunt found the videos, leading her and the mother to confront Williams, who fled to Columbia, MO, but was eventually arrested.
Williams pleaded guilty in November to one count of production of child pornography, and U.S. District Judge Cristian M. Stevens handed down a 30-year sentence.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jillian Anderson prosecuting.
This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sex abuse and exploitation.
