( WAFB /Gray News) - A former police officer and volunteer firefighter will be castrated after receiving three life sentences following a conviction for raping multiple children. According to Louisiana’s 18th Judicial District Attorney Tony Clayton, a jury in October convicted former New Roads officer Kedreyon K. Williams, 31, of three counts of first-degree rape of juveniles, as well as indecent behavior with a juvenile and possession of pornography involving juveniles. The jury deliberated for just over 30 minutes before delivering its verdict. The district attorney’s office said a rape conviction carried a mandatory life sentence, but it wanted to go a step further by recommending that Williams be physically castrated. “He performed disgusting acts on children who could not defend themselves. He is a child predator, and he deserves exactly what he is getting and more. The castration is another layer of punishment for these horrendous crimes,” the DA’s office said. At sentencing, District Judge Kevin Kimball added that it was the “worst case” of child sexual abuse that he had seen. “If a man takes sexual advantage of a child, then we will take his manhood!” Clayton said. “We hope the families know that justice was served here and have some comfort in knowing he will never be able to prey on any children again.” Copyright 2026 WAFB via Gray Local Media, Inc.
