Kelvin Williams had been out of prison for about eight months when he entered the elderly woman's apartment in Grand Rapids and attacked her in a bathroom. The 85-year-old woman called the assault a 'nightmare.'

Kelvin Williams was sentenced to between 28 and 60 years in prison for raping an 85-year-old woman

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – A parolee who beat and raped an elderly Grand Rapids woman in an ordeal she described as a ‘nightmare’ was sentenced Tuesday to a minimum of 28 years in prison for the mid-January attack.

Kelvin Lawrence Williams, 24, who got out of prison last year, pleaded no contest to multiple charges stemming from the break-in and rape at the Marsh Ridge Senior Complex on the city’s Northwest Side.

Kent County Circuit Court Judge Paul Sullivan sentenced Williams to between 28 and 60 years for first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Williams received lesser terms for home invasion and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.

The three sentences will be served at the same time. Because he was on parole for two Kent County home invasion convictions, Williams must complete sentences in those cases before he begins the terms handed down on Tuesday.

The elderly woman testified in February that she was attacked the afternoon of Jan. 18 in her apartment at the Marsh Ridge complex off of Lake Michigan Drive NW.

The woman said she was breaking down cardboard boxes in a hallway when she ducked back inside her apartment to use the bathroom, leaving the front door unlocked. Williams entered her apartment through an unlocked door.

The assailant appeared naked in her doorway, the woman testified earlier this year. He choked her, threatened to kill her and raped her.

Williams, who has a chest tattoo that reads “only God can judge us,’’ was located in a nearby apartment in the same building. He was arrested after the victim identified him as her attacker. Investigators recovered DNA evidence linking him to the crime.

The victim was treated at a local hospital for her injuries, which included wounds to her arm that required stitches. She also had bruises all over her body.

Williams, who turned 24 earlier this month, was sentenced to prison in March of 2012 for two Kent County home invasions. He was paroled to Grand Rapids in May of 2017.

INDIANAPOLIS — A man has been arrested after he reportedly broke into a home on the west side of Indianapolis and raped a mother and her daughter while recording it on his phone.

According to court documents, filed on Sunday in Marion County, 21-year-old Teshon Gardner has been preliminarily charged with two counts of rape, each a Level 1 felony, in relation to an incident at a home on S. Worth Avenue on Saturday.

At around 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were dispatched to a call regarding a rape that had just occurred. When officers arrived, a woman at the scene told them that she and her 12-year-old daughter had been raped at gunpoint inside the home.

The woman told police she had recently gotten home from a tire shop when she heard a knock on the front door. When she opened the door, the documents said that a man wearing an American Flag mask was pointing a handgun at her and told her to let him inside.

When the man entered the home, the man reportedly raped the woman on the couch and floor. As the man looked at family pictures on the wall, the documents said he asked the woman if there was anyone else in the house. The woman told the man no one else was inside.

The man then stopped raping her and walked down the hallway where the woman’s children were sleeping. The documents said that the man told the woman to get one of her children and go back into the living room.

After this occurred, the man reportedly raped the woman, as well as a 12-year-old child, multiple times. The woman told police that the man, later identified by police as Gardner, arrived at her house around 11:30 a.m. and left around 12:30 p.m. The woman then gave a description of the man to police, including an indecipherable tattoo that began with the letter ‘M,’ and said that Gardner reportedly recorded himself raping them with his cell phone.

Using the description, as well as nearby cameras, police tracked down a blue Ford F-150 linked to Gardner to a home on W. 28th Street. Police later arrested Gardner during a traffic stop on W. 30th Street and Annette Street.

During an interview with police, Gardner told police that he was the only one driving the truck that day and said he spent most of the day “just driving around.” The documents said he denied having sexual contact with anyone that day or sexually assaulting anyone.

When asked about his tattoo, Gardner reportedly showed police the tattoo on the left side of his torso, where the word “Motown” was written. The documents said Gardner could not explain how the victims in the case would have known about the tattoo.

IMPD Lt. Shane Foley commends the two survivors on their bravery to come forward following such horrific acts.

“We’re thankful that they were able to and willing and had the courage to come forward and cooperate with detectives,” said Foley. “It’s my understanding that they acted phenomenally being able to provide information that was critical to being able to identify the person we believe responsible for this for this act.”

The Indiana Coalition To End Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking has numerous resources including people who can help walk survivors through the legal process if they choose to go that route.

ROGERS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — On January 25, the Rogers Police Department filed a request for an arrest warrant including child pornography charges for Noel Bonilla-Jimenez, 18.

A Rogers PD detective filed the eight page motion with details dating back over 18 months. The motion states that, on June 22, 2021, he received multiple Cyber Tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The first Cyber Tip was submitted by Instagram on or about May 17, 2021. According to Instagram, a user uploaded a video file to an identified user with a hash value that had been previously viewed in other cases and categorized as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The video involved a prepubescent female and an adult male.

Instagram identified the recepient of the video and also provided further information on the owner of the account, including a phone number, user ID and screen name.

Another report was submitted by Instagram the following day, when a user uploaded the same video file. Instagram again provided relevant information about both parties, including phone numbers and screen names of the uploader and recepient.

The next Cyber Tip was submitted by Snapchat, on or about May 15, 2021. According to Snapchat, a user uploaded a video with a hash value that corresponded with a video previously viewed in other cases and categorized as CSAM involving a prepubescent girl and an adult male.

Snapchat provided the user’s phone number, date of birth, email address and IP address.

In the court filing, the detective reported that he conducted a search of the phone number “and found that it possibly belonged to Noel Bonilla-Jimenez.” Police records showed that Bonilla-Jimenez had an address in Rogers and lived there.

On or about September 3, 2021, Instagram filed a report with NCMEC concerning a user that sent a video classified as a prepubescent minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. They reported the sender and recepient, as well as the hash value of the video.

The phone number and date of birth associated with the sender’s account matched Bonilla-Jimenez.

On or about December 10, 2021, the Rogers detective received a Cyber Tip with a report titled Priority Level 2, which “indicates possible risk to an individual in the near future or is otherwise time-sensitive.”

That report was called in on November 24, 2021, by someone who wished to remain anonymous. That person reported that a Snapchat user had sent multiple videos of a prepubescent girl engaging in illicit activity with another user. That suspected user was identified as Bonilla-Jimenez.

The detective stated that he called the reporting party on December 20, 2021, and was told that she had met Bonilla-Jimenez a few months ago, and that they exchanged Snapchat contact information. She said she observed his account and found “several videos of him having sex with believed to be adult females and videos of a prepubescent male” engaging in a sex act with an adult male.

She stated that she saved the videos to share with law enforcement, and the detective later received them. The caller reported that Bonilla-Jimenez posted a comment with a child’s age on one of the videos. The detective identified him as the adult male depicted in the videos.

Later that day, the detective went to Bonilla-Jimenez’s address and met a woman that confirmed he lived there. He showed her a clip from one of the reported videos and she was able to identify a child involved. She also identified Bonilla-Jimenez from a screen shot taken from one of the videos. The detective showed her another photo, with a background that matched the videos, and she confirmed that it was taken inside a bathroom at the residence.

Investigators left the area after learning that the suspect was not home. They later made contact with him and conducted an interview in which he admitted to being the owner of the accounts listed in all of the Cyber Tips, with the exception of one. He initially denied knowing the child shown in a screen shot.

He then replied “I’m going to be honest with you now since you basically know everything,” and admitted that he knew the child and that “they have already discussed and dealt with the incident.” He then said he was not comfortable discussing the incident and claimed that he had not seen the child in four or five years.

He stated that the incidents occurred two or three times, and that all of them happened at his residence. When informed that one of the videos appeared to take place inside a vehicle, Bonilla-Jimenez replied that they were in his vehicle, parked in the driveway of the residence.

The child was later interviewed at the Children’s Advocacy Center and he did not disclose any sexual abuse. When the interviewer asked him about seeing a video with him in it, the child began to cry and said that he wanted to leave the room.

They also interviewed the child’s mother, who identified her son in a screen capture and said that the picture appeared to have been taken approximately one year ago, when he would have been seven years old.

On December 21, 2021, the detective received a search warrant for Bonilla-Jimenez’s residence and executed it at approximately 4:20 p.m., with “several Detectives of the Rogers Police Department.” The suspect was home and was made to wait outside while the search was conducted.

Detectives located two iPhones, an iPad, a desktop computer, an 8GB flash drive and a 16GB flash drive. They received a warrant to search the seized devices on December 27, 2021.

The detective reported that he “conducted forensic extraction of both cell phones,” as well as the computer’s hard drive. During his investigation, he located one of the Snapchat videos, and also found that there were four copies of it in the “downloads” folder.

He also found a copy of the video on a seized iPhone 7, and noted that it was associated with a WhatsApp text conversation in which Bonilla-Jimenez sent the video with a message reading “7 year old boy.”

Based on the above, on January 25 the detective filed an affidavit of probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant on the following charges:

Distributing, Possessing or Viewing of Matter Depicting Sexually Explicit Conduct Involving a Child, Class C Felony, two counts
Computer Exploitation of a Child, Class Y Felony
The court issued and filed an arrest warrant the next day.

He wouldn't be campaigning in Republican-controlled North Carolina if
he wasn't scared to death by polls showing he could lose it and make
his path to an EC win extremely difficult -- this even after all the
voter suppression stunts NC Republicans have done.
