20-Year-Old Hudson Man Accused Of Sexually Abusing Young Girls

HUDSON, FL — A Hudson man was arrested and charged Wednesday with multiple counts of lewd and lascivious battery after being accused of contacting minors through text messages and social media and then sexually abusing them.

According to the Land O' Lakes Detention Center records, Brandon Michael Williams of New York Avenue is being held on five felony sexual abuse counts. His bail is set at $95,000.

The girls told deputies that Williams used text messages and communicated with them through social media and talked them into meeting him alone, according to affidavits.

According to the affidavits, the complaints date back to Dec. 3 when a 12-year-old girl said Williams pressured her to have sex with him. She told deputies that Williams was so insistent she became concerned for her personal safety and allowed Williams to sexually abuse her.

Another girl, age 13, reported to the sheriff's office that Williams had sex with her on Jan. 13, according to sheriff's affidavits.

All the incidents took place in the Hudson area.

The sheriff's office said it believes there are other victims and is asking anyone who may have been a victim or has a family member or friend who was a victim to contact the PSO Crime Tips Line at 1-800-706-2488, or report tips online at PascoSheriff.com/tips.
