OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A registered Nebraska sex offender has been sentenced to at least 145 years behind bars for what prosecutors say was a scheme to abduct and sexually assault a child.
KETV-TV reports that Douglas County Judge John Huber on Thursday sentenced 35-year-old Robert Williams to life in prison for kidnapping, lewd conduct and attempted sexual assault charges.
Police say Williams and another man tried to kidnap three 5- to 15-year-old girls on separate occasions in May 2019.
All three girls managed to escape.
Police say Williams told investigators he was “on the hunt” for children to sexually assault.
