Madison, WI – Grimy Times
Madison, Wisconsin – In a shocking turn of events, William Guy, 51, formerly of Madison, Wisconsin, appeared in federal court this morning, following his extradition from Austria.
Guy was arrested in Austria in April 2018 on federal charges of fraudulently obtaining a passport, and on numerous state charges. At the time of his arrest, he had been a fugitive for more than seven years, and was on the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service’s most wanted list.
Guy fought extradition from Austria for almost a year, before finally being removed from the country this week. Magistrate Judge Stephen Crocker ordered Guy detained based on his flight risk, and set Guy’s federal trial date for October 28, 2019.
In addition to the federal charges, Guy faces charges of possessing child pornography, stalking resulting in bodily harm, false imprisonment, identity theft, victim intimidation, second degree sexual assault, kidnapping, bail jumping, and numerous other charges in Dane County Circuit Court.
This case is a result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Madison Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Altman has been assigned to prosecute the federal case, while Assistant District Attorney Matthew Moeser will prosecute the state charges.
Guy is currently being held in custody, awaiting his trial. The charges against him are the result of his alleged crimes, which he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
