A Sedalia man whose conviction was set aside by the court just more than a year and a half ago has a court proceeding set for this week.

According to court documents, Jerome Lee Williams II changed his plea from not guilty to guilty in July 2017 to two counts of a sex-related felony involving a juvenile and assault of law-enforcement officers in Saline County and was sentenced to spend a total of more than three decades in state prison on September 11, 2017. However, Williams’ conviction was set aside on April 19, 2020.

According to a probable-cause statement, the charges arose on January 6, 2017, when the Marshall Police Department was advised of an emergency Child Abuse/Neglect hotline call in reference to an adult allegedly having inappropriate sexual contact with a 6-year-old.

Court documents say the court denied a motion for change of venue on October 12.

A case review is scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. Monday, October 25, at Saline County Circuit Court. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for January 10, and Williams’ jury trial is scheduled to begin on February 2, 2022.
