I have looked into this and i am a graduate student that happens to know the family. I believe the charges are false. The girl that he supposedly had "raped" had been seen many times with older men, one of these men, the age of 21, being one of my older school friends. She had also shown behavior of wanting to be away from her parents, always going against her religion that required her to wear specific clothing to school. The mother is also a house wife. I honestly to not know how the father could have gotten away with this offense when the mother is always around. Then, i have discussed this with many people, most saying that William was a hard working man that was always very kind, nothing of the sort to be charged with alleged rape. Also, this daughter that he supposedly raped had always been caught in school saying "i hate the way my parents think they can force me to do things the way they want me to, i should have my own life". I am not saying that what William was charged with is false, but there are many red flags to this case. Many.

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that agents from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, assisted by local police officers from across Erie County and the Pennsylvania State Police, are in the process of arresting 41 suspects linked to a nearly $5 million drug organization operating in and around Erie. Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
