Waynesboro man sent to jail after impregnating teen

Carlton J. Williams III, 26, was convicted of three felony counts of possession of child pornography and two felony counts of enticing a child to perform in child pornography. Williams also pleaded guilty to a felony count of consensual sex with a minor.

Augusta County Deputy District Attorney Alexandra Meador said the allegations against Williams came to light in January after the minor filed a report with the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office claiming that Williams was the father of her child.

After authorities obtained a search warrant for Williams’ phone, Meador said they found images of the victim in various stages of undress. There was evidence on the phone that Williams had asked the girl for nude photos, according to Meador, who said there was also a photo of him with the girl. The prosecutor said some of the messages on Williams’ phone appeared to show him contacting other minors.
