Keith Williams

Keith's Riverside mugshot

**Keith Allen Williams** is a predator featured in the Riverside, California edition of **To Catch a Predator**.

## Biography

Before being caught in the Riverside, California sting, from February 2 and March 8, 2005, Keith, using the screen name "southbayguy310," started chatting with a Perverted Justice decoy he believed to be a 12-year-old girl named Megan. Kieth lied about his age, saying he was 24. He inquired as to whether she had ever had a boyfriend and what her weight was. His chat then gets graphic, asking if she'd had oral sex with her boyfriend, if he'd fingered her, if he orgasmed, if her genitals were shaved, if she was a virgin, if she masturbated, what size her breasts were, if she'd ever become stimulated online and watched men masturbate, and if she'd ever meet a man online. He asked if he could have sex with her. After the chat, Perverted Justice posted his chat log on their website.

Not even a year later, between January 5 and 6, 2006, Keith, using the same screen name, started another chat with another Perverted Justice decoy posing as a 13-year-old girl named Chelsea. Just as he had lied about his age the first time, he lied about his age again, saying he was now 26. He asked the decoy if she had ever performed oral sex on another girl, what the largest penis she'd seen, if she had ever watched people have sex if she had received anal sex, what her bra and panties were like, if she was horny and if her nipples were hard, if she had ever been drunk, and if he could videotape them having sex so he could masturbate to it later.

## Sting and arrest

Keith showed up the first night of the sting. He drove by the sting house when he noticed another child sex predator being arrested by police officers. When he called the decoy, she explained that her neighbor had been arrested for drug dealing. He still entered the house, holding an alcoholic beverage in one hand and a camera in the other. When confronted by Chris Hansen, he admitted to watching the earlier "To Catch A Predator" episode filmed in Herndon, Virginia, and that did not want to be interviewed. Chris confronts him about his 2005 encounter with the Perverted Justice decoy. He claimed they never informed him of her age.

Keith came up with a lot of excuses, mostly saying that he came to the sting house because he was "bored." Before being confronted with the chats and the fact that he saw her profile, Keith initially claimed that he didn't believe Chelsea was underage. He tried to dismiss bringing a camera, inquired who Chris was, and repeatedly called himself an idiot. He promised to destroy his computer and requested what kind of trouble he was in, wanting to go to jail and end the debacle. When Chris reveals who he is and the cameras came out, Keith kept talking, saying he wasn't a bad guy, asking Chris to turn off the cameras, and then leaving when they didn't.

## Behind the scenes

Keith was arrested by police officers and was later released on bond. Astonishingly, Perverted Justice claimed that Keith also chatted with a third underage decoy while chatting with Chelsea and appearing at the Dateline sting. When Perverted Justice conducted a sting at Laguna Beach in February 2006, Keith was caught again chatting up another underage Perverted Justice decoy while on bond, bringing his total to four decoys in less than a year and three decoys in the last two months.

In early 2007, Keith plead guilty to a felony count of attempted lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14. He was sentenced to one year in prison, five years of probation, and lifetime registration as a sex offender. He was released in late 2007 and was placed on probation until 2012. Keith moved to Kentucky, where he is registered as a sex offender for life.
