U.S. District Judge J. Ronnie Greer of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee at Greeneville has sentenced Sean Williams to 95 years in prison. The Johnson City man was convicted in July 2024 of escaping prison and in November of three counts of production of child pornography. According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee, the evidence presented at the child pornography trial showed that Williams used three minor children to engage in sexually explicit conduct and took photos of that conduct. The conduct occurred at Williams’s apartment in Johnson City. Williams also has been accused of sexually assaulted each of the victims’ mothers while they were unconscious, around the same time that he took pornographic photos of their children. No charges have been filed based on those claims.
