Antony Williams outside court and, centre, his Wiltshire Police custody picture A REMORSELESS Gulf War veteran who sexually abused a girl while in his teens has been jailed for three-and-a-half years. Babysitter Antony Williams, now 37, molested the girl while he read bedtime stories to his victim’s younger sister – and also got her to touch him. Despite being found guilty by jurors at Swindon Crown Court last year of two counts of indecent assault, Judge Peter Crabtree was told on Wednesday that the Penhill man still did not accept his guilt. Asking the judge to consider imposing a suspended sentence, Don Tait, for Williams, said: “We cannot, of course, go behind the jury’s verdicts but he is adamant as so often happens in such cases that he has been wrongly convicted.
He was caught with 2.5kg of the drug after police stopped his van near Malmesbury last January.

You could be providing information and intelligence which helps us arrest offenders and bring them to justice.”
