Sean Williams child pornography trial pushed back 3 weeks

Former downtown Johnson City resident Sean Williams’s trial on federal child pornography production charges involving three different children was pushed back by three weeks Monday. It will now begin November 12. U.S. District Judge Ronnie Greer ordered the continuance Monday, following Friday’s motion by defense attorney Mark Brown, who has a federal trial in Washington D.C. starting October 28 that cannot be rescheduled. Williams’ trial had been set to start October 22. Prosecutors in the case supported the defense motion. Other deadlines in the case remain the same, including a plea deadline of October 8.
