Sean Williams, a former Johnson City businessman linked to scores of suspected sexual assaults, is expected to face his first trial this week in a federal court in Greeneville, Tennessee Lookout reports. Williams will stand trial on charges related to two alleged escape attempts from custody. He is expected to represent himself after a fourth attorney appointed to represent him withdrew from the case last week. Williams will face federal charges for production of child pornography in August. He has not been charged with any crimes related to the alleged assaults or seeking to interfere with police business. The Johnson City Police Department is facing multiple lawsuits alleging that officers took kickbacks in a scheme to protect Williams and thwart his victims from pursuing justice.
