te prison.of rape by forcible compulsion and aggravated assault in a "stipulated bench trial."
Williams was arrested in October of 2021 after detectives used DNA evidence saved from the 1995 attack to link him to the crime. On an early morning in May of 1995, police say Williams reportedly attacked a Penn State student by hitting her from behind, and then reportedly dragged her to a nearby flower bed and raped her.
According to police, the victim's skull was cracked as she was repeatedly beaten. Williams is also accused of stealing her purse and other items. When the rape happened, prosecutors at the time charged “John Doe” with the crime using the DNA profile obtained. Current District Attorney Bernie Cantorna said that step was unprecedented in the eastern United States.The affidavit says a forensic lab created a profile of the attacker using genealogical DNA, creating an ancestry match to Williams.
