Rickey Williams, 55, — a security guard from Dauphin County — touched the girl when she was between the ages of 8 and 18. Judge William T. presided over the trial.
She came forward about the abuse within two weeks after police allegedly caught him soliciting a video of a 14-year-old girl urinating, according to court documents and as Daily Voice previously reported.
The girl in that case was actually an undercover detective using a false identity on Snapchat, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
Rickey Williams is the father of Riley Williams, the 22-year-old woman who allegedly stole Nancy Pelosi's laptop from the US Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots.
At one point, Rickey Williams's attorney expressed that he thought the 14-year-old was really his daughter Riley’s ex-boyfriend, Michael Prodanov, claiming that it was Prodanov who turned her into the FBI, claiming laptop during the Capitol riots so she could sell it to Russia.
Riley Williams had traveled to D.C. with her father, Rickey, but they were not together during the riot, according to court documents from Riley's case.
The laptop theft charge was later withdrawn as part of a negotiated plea deal, according to federal court documents obtained by Daily Voice.
The younger Williams was convicted of aiding and abetting, and obstruction of official proceedings of U.S. Congress. She was sentenced in 2023, as we reported at the time.
The child porn case remains active with Rickey Williams facing the following charges:
- F2 Photograph/Film/Depict on Computer Sex Act - Knowingly or Permitting Child
- F2 Contact/Comm.W/Minor-Sexual Abuse
- F3 Criminal Use Of Communication Facility--Criminal Solicitation - Photograph/Film/Depict on Computer Sex Act - Knowingly or Permitting Child
He had been freed on $25,000 bail before Wednesday's conviction, according to court documents. Williams has since been remanded to the Dauphin County Prison on $100,000 bail.
In Oct. 2023, Prodanov was given $50,000 for the failed defamation case filed by Riley Williams in New Jersey Superior Court.
Riley remains in a federal halfway house in Philadelphia serving what remains of her three-year sentence, which is scheduled to end in May 2025.
