Columbia County Bureau
Thursday, June 18, 2009 5:42 p.m.

A Columbia County jury found a Grovetown man guilty Wednesday of 12 felonies for sexually assaulting a child.

After three days of testimony and deliberation, the jury found Arthur Clarence Williams Sr., 33, of Katherine Street, guilty of four counts of aggravated child molestation, four counts of child molestation, two counts of rape and other charges.

Mr. Williams was accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a girl between April 2004 and April 2008. The girl was between 6 and 10 years old at the time of the incidents.

A July 2008 indictment charged Mr. Williams with 12 counts of aggravated child molestation, four counts of child molestation, four counts of rape and four other charges of a sexual nature.

A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled, but Mr. Williams could receive life in prison without parole.
