even while bragging to the SVU about how he raped, branded, and tortured an elderly woman for eighteen hours, he was still clever enough to phrase his entire boast as a hypothetical statement ('if I were to have raped her, I'd have branded her with a coat hanger' etc.) meaning it was inadmissible in court as an actual confession. Moreover, this gave Williams the idea of using aliases which were intentionally similar-sounding, to confuse police records which mistook it for simple spelling mistakes.įrom facing repeated court appearances for rape charges, Williams became increasingly adept at manipulating points of court procedure - i.e. Worse, his name was misspelled on the paperwork as 'Louis Williams', so the record did not follow him. Again, Williams managed to slip through the system, because both victims were too traumatized to testify in open court, so the lawyer got him off. Williams broke into their apartment, put them in the truck of their own car, drove them to a fishing cabin and raped and tortured them for three straight days and leaves them there tied up and they eventually escape. While this was primarily a lie to hide his past (while taunting the SVU about his lack of past ID or records), there is apparently a kernel of truth that after his initial sexual assault in Kentucky, he proceeded to travel from state to state committing various acts of rape and sexual torture, then moving again to stay one step ahead of the police.Īfter Kentucky, Williams next appeared in records from Alabama, where he was the suspect in a kidnap/rape/torture of a pair of roommates.

Lewis mockingly told SVU that he was from 'all over', listing off Texas, Florida, and Delaware before he came to New York, using the thin explanation that he was from a military family. However, he got lucky, because the mother was also a drug addict and thus the DA was unwilling to put her on the stand to testify, so the charges were dropped.

After that he tied her up and force fed her alcohol and drugs and then found an abandoned mobile home in the woods where he raped her and left her. He offered her a ride in the Circle K parking lot, stopped at a hardware store, purchased duct tape, rope and a soldering iron, and finally stopped at a liquor store to pick up some alcohol. In 1998, he abducted and raped the mother of his girlfriend when she tried to break them up. He would later describe the incident as the best day of his life, and the moment that he knew what he had been put on Earth to do: to rape, terrorize and kill women and young girls. He claims that, when he was 8 years old, his father's girlfriend performed oral sex on him, and when his father caught her, he raped her right in front of his son. He was apparently born in Kentucky (under the original name 'Lewis Williams'). However, after an extensive search using alternate names, the SVU was able to get a basic picture of his past.
