Milwaukee, WI - The U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested a fugitive wanted in Nashville, TN on outstanding warrants for aggravated rape, aggravated robbery and attempted aggravated robbery.

Williams is believed to have victimized seven women, several of them escorts, in six separate cases. In one of the charged cases from June 16th, Williams is alleged to have contacted a 22-year-old escort through a personals website.

In the other case from June 19th, Williams is alleged to have arranged to meet a 29-year-old woman for a date in the parking lot of an apartment complex. When she arrived, she said Williams sat in the passenger seat of her vehicle armed with a large hunting knife and demanded her belongings. She started screaming for help and Williams fled her car (attempted aggravated robbery warrant issued).
Williams is also suspected of sexually assaulting a 26-year-old woman at a motel on February 13th; two women, ages 27 & 34, who were staying at another motel on May 31st; and a 30-year-old woman who was staying at another motel on June 14th.
