The investigation on Williams started when a victim was questioned in an unrelated matter. According to court documents the victims were three young boys, the abuse started in 2008 and has been going on for years. One of the victims informed the police that Williams would drug him until he passed out. Williams is being held on $385,000 cash bail and $80,000 secured bail. Authorities are concerned there could be other victims that have not yet come forward. Information on the victims and whether or not they were students of the district has not yet been released.
