NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, Texas – A Garrison man has been indicted on 201 felony charges for the sexual abuse of a child following an investigation by the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office.

The charges allege that the abuse began when the victim was under 14 years old, and continued for more than a year according to the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office.

Williams was taken into custody the same day in San Augustine according to the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office.
