Nushawn Williams to Remain Locked Up
A State Supreme Court judge has ruled that Nushawn Williams is a danger to society and must remain confined even though he finished serving his prison sentence.
State Supreme Court Justice John Michalski said during a hearing this afternoon that there is probable cause that Williams suffers from a "sexual abnormality."
Williams could now face a trial to determine his future status. Both sides are due back in court next month to argue a defense motion to dismiss the case.
In the late 1990s, Williams knowingly infected more than a dozen people in Chautauqua County with HIV. He claims he was never told by the state Department of Health that he had the virus.
Williams finished his prison sentence on April 13, but a 2007 state law requires that sex offenders be evaluated before they are released to determine the likelihood that they could commit another sex crime.
