PHILADELPHIA, PA — Tyleeya Williams, 22, of Philadelphia, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison followed by lifetime supervised release for sexually abusing a child in her care and committing multiple child pornography offenses. The sentence was handed down on January 24, 2025, by United States District Court Judge Gerald J. Pappert.
Williams pleaded guilty in June 2023 to charges including the manufacture and attempted manufacture of child pornography, distribution of child pornography, and possession of child pornography. According to court documents, Williams admitted to sexually abusing a one-year-old girl under her care, photographing the abuse, and distributing the images online. She also confessed to trafficking thousands of images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of other children, sharing this material with groups of offenders on the internet.
“Tyleeya Williams was entrusted with the care and protection of this little girl, but instead sexually abused and exploited her,” said U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero. “While Williams’ 40-year sentence can’t reverse the immeasurable harm she’s done, it prevents her from harming anyone else’s child and is a measure of justice for all the innocents whose images she collected and shared.”
The case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Rotella. Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to holding offenders accountable and protecting vulnerable children from exploitation.
