A former member of the Colonial School District Board of Education was sentenced to 22 years in prison for several counts of child sexual abuse.
In November, Ronnie Williams, 44, was found guilty by a jury of second degree-rape, continuous sexual abuse of a child, unlawful sexual contact, sexual abuse of a child by a person of trust and sexual solicitation of a child.
Williams was elected to Colonial’s seven-member school board in May 2018. In the past, he had volunteered with children in other capacities, at Special Olympics Delaware, Thomas McKean High School and various elementary schools to teach third- and fourth-graders.
In 2004, he was charged with sexually assaulting three boys, but was found not guilty, court records show.
