RANDOLPH COUNTY, MO. -- A Moberly man is headed to prison for his part in a brutal kidnapping and assault.
A Randolph County jury convicted Sean Williams of being an accessory to kidnapping and first-degree assault, forcible sodomy and forcible rape in connection with a disturbing crime in which a woman was kidnapped, and held in a deep freezer between assaults.
According to court documents, the crime happened last year when Williams helped kidnap a 22-year-old victim at a Moberly hotel and took her to an abandoned basement.
Prosecutors said the woman was beaten, trapped in an old deep freezer and raped.
