MOUNT HOLLY, NJ.- A 34-year-old Clinton, Maryland, man learned today that he would be 75 years old when he is finally released from prison for the repeated sexual assaults of a 6-year-old girl that occurred in Burlington County, New Jersey.
According to Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw, following a trial in July 2024, Kevin Williams, 34, of Clinton, was found guilty by a Burlington County jury of two counts of first-degree Aggravated Sexual Assault; and four counts of second-degree Sexual Assault.
Today, December 20, 2024, Williams appeared in Burlington County Superior Court and was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Richard J. Nocella to 41 years in New Jersey State Prison. Judge Nocella ordered Williams to serve 38 years of his custodial term before becoming eligible for parole. Upon his release from prison, Williams will be subject to parole supervision for life and will be required to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law registration requirements.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the sexual assaults occurred several years ago on multiple occasions. Williams was taken into custody in December 2020 by the Maryland State Police. Due to the nature of the charges and the child’s age, authorities are not releasing any further information in an attempt to protect the child’s identity.
“The victim in this case endured abuse that continues to traumatize her to this day,” Prosecutor Bradshaw said. “We admire the strength and determination she displayed during this prosecution and hope that justice was brought on her behalf is meaningful as she pursues a happy, fulfilling life.”
