PHILADELPHIA, PA.- A 22-year-old Philadelphia, Pennsylvania woman will be spending the next four decades in federal prison after she was sentenced on Friday for horrifically sexually abusing a one-year-old child for the purpose of manufacturing child pornography and then sharing the abuse she filmed online in child predator group chatrooms.
On Friday, January 24, 2025, Tyleeya Williams, 22, of Philadephia, Pennsylvania, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Gerald J. Pappert to 480 months in federal prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release for her guilty plea to an indictment charging her with multiple federal child sex crime violations.
According to U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero, in May 2023, Williams was charged by a federal indictment with Manufacturing and Attempted Manufacturing of Child Pornography; two counts of Distribution of Child Pornography; and Possession of Child Pornography. In June 2024, Williams appeared in federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and pleaded guilty to the four charges.
Williams Admits To Sexually Abusing Toddler
During her plea allocution, Williams admitted that she sexually abused a one-year-old girl who was in her care and that she planned the abuse with another child sex offender with whom she was communicating online. Williams photographed her molestation of the one-year-old girl and distributed those digital images of her abuse over the internet.
Williams further admitted that she trafficked thousands of digital images and video files depicting the sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of dozens of other prepubescent and pubescent children, sharing that child sexual abuse material online in child sex offenders group chatrooms.
“Tyleeya Williams was entrusted with the care and protection of this little girl, but instead sexually abused and exploited her,” said U.S. Attorney Romero. “The defendant further victimized this child by documenting the abuse and sharing the horrific images with other sex offenders. While Williams’ 40-year sentence can’t reverse the immeasurable harm she’s done, it prevents her from harming anyone else’s child and is a measure of justice for all the innocents whose images she collected and shared. My office and the FBI will never stop working to hold accountable criminals who are ready and willing to hurt our children.”
