Former Alabama officer convicted of soliciting sex
ASHFORD, Ala. (AP) — A former southeast Alabama police official will avoid jail time after being convicted of soliciting a teenager for sex.
A judge convicted former Ashford assistant police chief Clint Williams on a charge soliciting prostitution during a non-jury trial on Tuesday. He was acquitted on a marijuana possession charge.
The Dothan Eagle reports Williams received a suspended jail term of one year, meaning he won't serve time.
Authorities accused Williams of offering a 17-year-old girl money and marijuana in exchange for sex. Police began investigating after the teen's mother reported that she believed Williams and her daughter were having an inappropriate relationship.
