Assistant U.S. Attorneys Melissa M. Marangola and Tiffany H. Lee, who handled the case, stated that between January and February 2012, the defendant enticed a minor victim (Victim 1), to engage in a commercial sex act. Williams recruited and enticed Victim 1 to live with him and to earn money working as a prostitute. Advertisements for Victim 1 were posted on Backpage.com. The investigation began when a family member saw an ad for Victim 1 online.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Rochester Office, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert, and the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office, under the direction of District Attorney Sandra Doorley.
