News Herald Arrest Report
UK man arrested for soliciting minor
A man from the United Kingdom is in jail locally
after being charged with pursuing a Lenoir City teen for sex.
Roy Anthony Williams, 52, admitted he tried to
persuade a 13-year-old girl to engage in acts that would constitute
aggravated statutory rape.
“Williams did send (the girl) messages encouraging
her to meet him and offering to go to her residence and pick her
up,” Lenoir City Police Sgt. Lynette Ladd wrote in her report.
The girl was invited to Williams’ room at a local
motel, which is where law enforcement found him, according to
the report.
“Williams texted (the girl’s) phone asking, ‘Are
you still OK about me taking ur virginity?’ Williams also
commented through (the girl’s) phone, ‘It’s never been about
sex. It’s much more. I love you. I desire you’.”
The report details that Williams sent text
messages knowing the girl was under 18 years old. He flew from
his country, the United Kingdom, in late May. He posted via
social media photographs of the girl’s home and street sign
where she lives, according to the report. He flew back to his
country and returned to Lenoir City on July 1.
Williams, Newport, UK, was charged with
solicitation of a minor and held on $80,000 bond.
