Williams or Wisham

Girl’s affidavit says ex-publicist claimed sexual encounters with 50 kids:

This story is actually back from the beginning of this year, but I’ll tell you later why I’m talking about it…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A teenage girl who allegedly had a lengthy sexual relationship with a former NASCAR publicist told authorities the man claimed to have victimized more than 50 children across the country, court documents say.

Richard “Chip” Williams, 48, was charged last week with raping a child — a 14-year-old girl whom he met on the Internet when she was 11 — and soliciting a minor for sex over the Internet. He is being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

An affidavit says the 14-year-old girl said she knew the man who had sex with her as “John Wisham,” which police say is the identity Williams used online.

She said Wisham claimed “to have been with over 50 children in various forms of sexual exploitation.”

In the affidavit, Detective George Moore says he read a sexually explicit online conversation between the girl and “Wisham,” then watched as she engaged the man in another explicit online conversation.

During another online chat, the girl introduced “Wisham” to an undercover officer, who posed as a 15-year-old girl, the affidavit said. It said “Wisham” discussed sex in the online chat.

According to an anonymous tip I received, this is the MySpace used by Williams as “Wisham” but there isn’t a whole lot to see there.
