Daughter of 70-year-old man accused of sexual abuse speaks out after his arrest

Source type: News articleOfficials said the charges stem from incidents involving seven children who ranged in age at the time of the abuse from four to 12-years-old between 1983 through 1997.
Williams’ daughter, who requested her name and face remain private, said there’s mixed feelings for her family after his arrest Wednesday morning.
“I, for one, feel a lot of solace that he is in a place where he can get help and where he’ll be away from children,” she said. “But my mother is taking the news very hard.”
She said she knew the victims personally and said they came forward in the past to parents and LDS church leaders.
“Their accusations weren’t listened to. They were brushed under the rug and brushed aside because even the parents and the bishop thought, ‘Oh. He’s a harmless old man.’ But that wasn’t the case,” she said.
Investigators received a report in October 2018 regarding the sexual abuse of one of the victims and through their investigation, were able to identify and interview six more victims.
