Hamilton County sheriff’s deputies Thursday arrested a man accused of 18 felonies, including continuous sexual abuse of a minor who was 8 years old or younger and over a dozen other adult and child rape charges.
Joshua Allen Williams, 25, was indicted Tuesday after grand jurors charged him with 18 different crimes tied to sexual offenses against minors and adults in incidents ranging from 2014 to 2025. He remains in jail as he has not made his bond, which was set at over $1 million.
