NEW ROADS - A former New Roads Police officer and volunteer firefighter was given three life sentences and will be castrated following his conviction for raping multiple boys.

Kedreyon Williams was arrested in July 2024 by the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office on charges of first-degree rape of a victim under 13, first-degree rape while armed with a dangerous weapon, indecent behavior with a juvenile and pornography involving a juvenile.

After his initial arrest, WBRZ reported that at least three victims under the age of 13 were raped.

He was found guilty on three counts of first-degree rape, first-degree rape while armed with a dangerous weapon, indecent behavior with a juvenile and pornography involving a juvenile at the 18th JDC courthouse in New Roads after 40 minutes of deliberation by the jury.

Each count carries a mandatory life sentence. 

Williams was a part-time officer at the New Roads Police Department from October 2017 to May 2019.
