A Sedalia man whose conviction was set aside by the court more than two years ago is scheduled to be in court.

Court documents say 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. He was sentenced to spend a total of more than 30 years in state prison on September 11, 2017.

However, Williams’ conviction was set aside on April 19, 2020.

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.

Williams’ jury trial that was scheduled to be held from July 12-14 was postponed.

Williams’ trial setting hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, August 22 at Saline County Circuit Court.
