Quentin Anthony Williams Faces Federal Charges for Sexual Exploitation of a Minor
Quentin Anthony Williams
An Orange Grove Center employee, Quentin Anthony Williams, has been arrested on multiple state charges of sexual exploitation of a minor. Now, he is also facing federal charges for his actions.
Federal Indictment Details
The federal indictment states that Quentin Anthony Williams, residing at 8682 Don Ray Way, Collegedale, sought to persuade “Victim 1” to engage in sexually explicit conduct that would be visually depicted. Additionally, the indictment reveals that Williams, aged 27, received child pornography.
Timeline of Actions
The indictment indicates that these actions began as early as 2022 and continued until February 8 of this year when Williams was arrested.
State Charges and Investigation
The state charges against Williams reveal that he had asked young boys to send him naked photos. Collegedale Police were alerted by a Texas man who reported that his eight-year-old son had been corresponding with Williams via SnapChat since August of the previous year.
The concerned father provided the police with copies of several chats and two video recordings of conversations his son had with Williams. To further investigate, a federal online officer assumed the identity of the boy in the chats. Williams, unaware of the officer’s true identity, requested the boy to “get out of his comfort zone” and send him naked pictures.
Upon confrontation by the police, Williams confessed to his interactions with the Texas boy and admitted to being in contact with a 10-year-old boy in Tennessee. He also disclosed that he possessed naked photos of the Tennessee boy in a hidden folder on his phone. The police subsequently discovered the folder containing explicit photos of the 10-year-old boy.
