R. Seth Williams Biography

R. Seth Williams is one of the most popular and richest Attorney who was born on January 2, 1967 in United States. Williams married Sonita and had three children together. He and his wife divorced in 2011 and their three daughters lived with them.

In 2011, Williams initiated the prosecution of what became known as the “Billy Doe” case – the prosecution of three priests and a schoolteacher for sexual abuse of an altar boy and student (pseudonym Billy Doe). During proceedings, the youth’s account of the alleged abuse changed, and doubts were raised about the veracity of the charges brought by Williams. According to a Newsweek article by Ralph Cipriano, Williams “has not explained any of the factual discrepancies in Billy’s many stories, and why the D.A. would proceed with what Williams described as a ‘historic’ prosecution of the church with a star witness so lacking in credibility.” The Catholic League claimed that the four men had been “railroaded by an ambitious D.A.”

In January 2011, Williams’ office brought multiple charges through a grand jury against Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell, allegedly for killing infants after birth. In 2013, Gosnell was convicted of killing three infants who were born alive during abortion procedures. He was sentenced to life in prison.

Williams was elected Philadelphia District Attorney on November 3, 2009. He was elected the first African American district attorney in Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania after he won more than 75% of votes. In January 2010, he succeeded Abraham. Williams was an adjunct professor at Villanova and Temple universities during his time in office. He also served on the advisory board at Penn State Abington. He is a major in United States Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

He challenged Lynne Abraham in 2005’s Democratic primary but lost with 46%. He was elected Inspector General of Philadelphia by the mayor. His duties included investigating corruption, fraud, waste and employee misconduct allegations against municipal workers and businesses doing business in the city. In 2008, he left to become counsel at Stradley, Ronon, Stevens & Young, a Center City firm of lawyers.

In October 2011, Williams received an Alumni Fellow Award from Pennsylvania State University.

On June 29, 2017, Williams pleaded guilty to one count of bribery contrary to Pennsylvania law, which is punishable up to 5 years in prison with the maximum potential fine of $250,000. The plea agreement was announced during the eighth day of his trial, as federal prosecutors outlined their 29-count corruption case against Williams. U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond announced to the court that though the plea agreement convicted Williams of one of the 29 charges he faced, Williams had to admit to the underlying facts of the other 28 charges, including extortion, fraud and bribery. A request from Williams’ attorney that he be allowed to see his mother before serving his sentence prompted this response from the judge, “The English language doesn’t have the word to capture the outrageousness of that request,” said Diamond. “The defendant stole from his mother and now wants to visit her?”

On March 21, 2017, the US Department of Justice announced that they had indicted Williams on “bribery and extortion charges”. Williams was disbarred effective April 13, 2017 by court order.
