LOCK HAVEN — It took a jury of eight men and four women just over two hours of deliberation before returning verdicts of guilty on all six counts charged against a man accused of repeatedly raping a woman with an intellectual disability.

According to a release from Clinton County District Attorney via Crimewatch, William Alfred Willits, III, 42, of Lock Haven, was put on trial for two counts of rape of a victim with a mental disability, a first degree felony; two counts of aggravated indecent assault of a victim with a mental disability, a second degree felony; and two counts of sexual assault, a second degree felony starting Wednesday, March 23.

Following a trial, held before Clinton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Craig P. Miller, Willits was found guilty Friday just before 1 p.m.

Strouse prosecuted the case and was assisted by the arresting officer, Corporal Gregory Drollinger of the Woodward Township Police Department.

According to Crimewatch, over the course of the trial, evidence was presented demonstrating that Willits’ victim had been diagnosed with Intellectual Disability (ID) for her entire life.

Strouse called two expert witnesses, the victim’s special education teacher, and the victim’s sister and full-time care provider, all of whom testified to the severity of the victim’s disability.

The release stated the victim was determined to function at the level of a child between the ages of 5-10 years old.

The victim herself also testified, about the incidents, explaining that Willits had engaged in sexual intercourse with her on two occasions inside of his home in August of 2024, the release said.

Willits and his wife, Fay Willits, also testified at trial.

Despite evidence that both of them had previously denied any sexual contact occurred between Willits in the victim, at trial, both testified that Willits did engage in sexual intercourse with the victim, according to the release. But both of the Willits’ disputed that the victim actually was mentally disabled.

“Both claimed the victim to be much smarter than she presented, and claimed that she was sexually aggressive with William Willits almost immediately upon meeting him for the first time,” the release stated.

The release further stated that, at trial, Fay Willits admitted that she had actually walked into the marital bedroom to find her husband engaged in sexual intercourse with the victim.

Strouse produced multiple prior statements made by both Willits and his wife that showed significant discrepancies in their trial testimony compared to what they had previously told the police, the release said. Those statements included Willits denying any sexual contact with the victim immediately after it was originally reported, and Willits becoming angry with Corporal Drollinger and challenging him to a fight in the street in front of his home when he was confronted with the allegations.

As a result of the convictions, Miller ordered Willits to undergo a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) assessment to be conducted by the Pennsylvania Sexual Offender Assessment Board (SOAB) and scheduled sentencing for June, the release said.

Following the guilty verdict, Willits faces a maximum penalty of up to 120 years in prison or total supervision.

The Commonwealth’s post-trial motion to revoke Willits’ bail was denied, and Willits remains free on bail previously posted and subject to GPS monitoring.
