Man Sentenced For Maintaining Sexual Relationship With Teen: Courts

MISSION VIEJO, CA — A 26-year-old man was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison for maintaining a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old south Orange County girl with cerebral palsy.

Nathan Keyshawn Williams pleaded guilty Aug. 5 to possession of child pornography, according to court records.

He was also placed on lifetime supervised release by U.S. District Judge James Selna, who also recommended placing him in a prison camp.

Williams, who is out on bail, must also register as a sex offender and surrender to authorities by May 9.

Williams was indicted in December 2021 on charges of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, transportation of child pornography and possession of child pornography, according to court records. Prosecutors dismissed the rest of the charges in accordance with his guilty plea to the child porn charge.

Williams traveled from Houston to Los Angeles County on Aug. 26, 2021, to engage in sex with the victim, according to his plea agreement.

After Williams arrived in Los Angeles he went to the victim's high school, picked her up "and took her to a hotel in Los Angeles, where he and (the victim) engaged in illicit sexual conduct," according to the plea agreement.

Orange County sheriff's investigators on Aug. 27, 2021, had sought the public's help in tracking down the girl, who was last seen the day before at Mission Viejo High School. Investigators searched the defendant's cell phone "and found a 17-second video" that showed the victim "naked and engaging in sexual conduct," according to the plea deal.
