POINTE COUPEE PARISH, La. (WAFB/Gray News) - A former police officer and volunteer firefighter will be castrated after receiving three life sentences following a conviction for raping multiple children.According to Louisiana’s 18th Judicial District Attorney Tony Clayton, a jury in October convicted former New Roads officer Kedreyon K. Williams, 31, of three counts of first-degree rape of juveniles, as well as indecent behavior with a juvenile and possession of pornography involving juveniles.The jury deliberated for just over 30 minutes before delivering its verdict.The district attorney’s office said a rape conviction carried a mandatory life sentence, but it wanted to go a step further by recommending that Williams be physically castrated.“He performed disgusting acts on children who could not defend themselves. He is a child predator, and he deserves exactly what he is getting and more. The castration is another layer of punishment for these horrendous crimes,” the DA’s office said
