Roseville-area youth theater instructor gets 180 days in jail for secretly filming underage girls
A Placer County judge sentenced a man to 180 days in jail and one year of probation for secretly filming more than a dozen underage girls, prosecutors announced Wednesday. The Placer County District Attorney's Office said the sentencing of David Williams, 30, occurred in county Superior Court earlier this month, on August 4, after he was convicted of misdemeanor annoying or molesting a child. Williams began recording young girls in public spaces last year, with investigators finding he had done so to at least 15 victims. An investigation into Williams began after a 14-year-old girl caught him recording her and reported it to the Roseville Police Department, prosecutors said. Williams was also found to be a part of multiple youth theater groups in the area, also serving as an instructor. According to the district attorney's office, the judge in the case said that state law limits probationary periods for this particular offense to one year. Williams has been ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years and is prohibited from contacting minors while on probation, prosecutors said.

Cops deny NFA in probe into alleged child molest case
Kajang police chief Naazron Abdul Yusof said investigations were ongoing under the Sexual Offences Against Children Act for physical sexual assault on a child. (Facebook pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Police have denied shelving their investigation into a foreign worker who allegedly molested a nine-year-old girl at a convenience store in Kajang in February. Kajang police chief Naazron Abdul Yusof denied the case had been classified as requiring no further action (NFA), saying investigations were ongoing under the Sexual Offences Against Children Act for physical sexual assault on a child. 'Action is being taken to complete our investigations,' he told FMT. Last Friday, Naazron said the police were seeking witnesses to assist in their investigation into the case. He said a police report was lodged on March 12 by the victim's father, claiming his daughter was molested on Feb 27. He said the victim had only revealed the incident to her family on March 11. Earlier today, Bersatu's Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said the child's father had informed him that the police had classified the child molest case as NFA. At a press conference in Parliament, the Machang MP also said the father is set to be charged for spreading a video of himself confronting the foreign worker and the owner of the shop he worked at. He claimed the video clearly showed the foreigner admitting to sexually assaulting the girl. Wan Fayhsal, a Bersatu Supreme Council member, said the opposition will provide the father with a lawyer to fight his charges in court and to seek justice for his daughter. When asked if it's true the father will be charged, Naazron simply said: 'Investigations are ongoing.'
