Former Louisiana officer sentenced to life and surgical castration
Kedreyon K Williams, a former Louisiana police officer and volunteer firefighter, has been sentenced to three life terms and physical castration after being convicted of sexually abusing children. The judge described the case as the worst child sexual abuse case he had seen, while prosecutors said the additional punishment was intended to prevent Williams from preying on children again.
Prosecutors said Williams abused several children aged eight to 11 at his home and a fire station. He was convicted of three counts of first-degree rape, indecent behaviour with a juvenile and possessing child sexual abuse images; the jury reached its verdict after 39 minutes. Louisiana is the only US state that permits surgical castration for sex offences involving victims under 15, though its corrections department has said it has not yet carried out the procedure.
In short
- Former officer Kedreyon K Williams received three life sentences.
- He was also sentenced to physical castration.
- The victims were aged between eight and 11.
