Sociopath Priest Coerced Boys Into Giving Him Homemade Porn

Sociopath Priest Violated the Sacrament of Confession to Blackmail Boys into Giving Him Homemade Kiddie Porn

Sociopath priest Robert D. McWilliams betrayed the trust of young boys. He also desecrated the most intimate of the Catholism’s sacraments. Now federal prosecutors want Priest Robert D. McWilliams behind bars for life. 

McWilliams was a priest at St. Joseph Catholic Church in the city of Strongsville, Ohio. Prior to that, he served as a seminarian at St. Helen’s Catholic Church in Newbury Township.

McWilliams pleaded guilty to sex trafficking, child pornography, and sexual exploitation charges in July. He solicited illicit images of minors online from 2017 through 2019.

Prosecutors alleged he also sexually abused victims in exchange for alcohol and other things.

He posted online under fake identifies. These profiles included that of a teenage girl so he could keep in contact his targets.

Sociopath Priest Pleads Guilty

The Department of Justice reacted like this when McWilliams pleaded guilty:

McWilliams knew some of the victims through his time in the seminary with the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland at a parish where the children and their families were affiliated.

Posing as a female, McWilliams enticed three minor victims to send sexually explicit photographs and videos, sometimes threatening to expose embarrassing information McWilliams already knew about the victims if they did not send such images. When some victims refused to send additional images, McWilliams followed through on his threats and sent sexually explicit photographs to the victims’ mothers.

Prosecutors identified the youngest child who was nine when the abuse started. McWilliams had hundreds of child porn pictures and videos on his HP laptop and an external hard drive. He also had 150 pictures and images of child pornography on a Dropbox cloud storage account.

Prosecutors called McWilliams a rare triple threat defendant and sociopath:

McWilliams used technology to disguise his phone number, created secret email accounts, and used cloud storage to grow and organize his collection of child pornography. Yet, it was the non-technical aspects of his crimes that make him so much more dangerous. He was cunning, calculating and extremely cruel. Only a sociopath could accept the hospitality of a family only to disappear into another room to transmit images of a victim to his mother so he could witness the pain inflicted upon his hosts. Yet, this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Defense attorneys acknowledged that McWilliams will get a long punishment. They say his first 180 months (15 years) are mandatory. However, they asserted he was a candidate for successful sex offender treatment. In addition, they said that supervised release could compliment the prison term.
