Trial March 19 for merged escape charges
Trial March 26 for child charges
New attorney appointed (his third so far)

"Shackled and wearing a gray and brown-striped jumpsuit, the 52-year-old Williams had a bandage on the left side of his neck — presumably covering a wound from a reported suicide attempt Tuesday — for the short proceeding."

"Jolley has generally defended the work the USMS does and that done by its contract jails, but he acknowledged that Williams has now been responsible for two high-profile mishaps involving his custody."

“Because he’s so high-profile, because there’s so much attention around Sean Williams — we do what we do every day, but also it needs to be demonstrated very well today the high-level security because I absolutely do not want anything else to happen in this til he faces his charges.”

"Authorities claim those images and videos included thousands depicting child , as well as at least three instances depicting children being sexually victimized by Williams in an apartment he owned in downtown Johnson City."

Now, new filings in an ongoing lawsuit allege that Williams’ business partner funneled $2,000 in weekly extortion payments to Johnson City Police officers, using a complicated scheme of shell companies disguised as subcontractors in order to cover her tracks.

Some of the transactions took place in 2022 while Williams was a fugitive and Johnson City police were supposed to be monitoring his companies’ transactions for suspicious activity as part of their formal investigation into his disappearance.

Instead, according to legal filings, some officers continued to cash in on Williams through his business partner, identified in court papers as “Female 4.”
