FELONY ARREST IN THE VILLAGE OF GENESEO
On October 16th, 2026, Sheriff’s Investigators arrested 50-year-old, Curtis Williams for felony Failure to Register and Verify as a New York State Registered Sex Offender.
It is alleged through the investigation that Williams, who is a level (1) New York State Registered Sex Offender, failed to report and register an internet identifier he had been using to communicate with others online. Williams failed to report the internet identifier within 10 days to the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction as required by law.
The NYS Corrections Law section 168-F (4) states: Any sex offender shall register with the division no later than ten calendar days after any change of address, internet accounts with internet access providers belonging to such offender, internet identifiers that such offender uses, or his or her status of enrollment, attendance, employment or residence at any institution of higher education.
Williams was arrested at the Livingston County Jail, where he was currently being held on a Parole Violation due to him violating conditions of his release with the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Williams was turned over to Central Booking Deputies for arrest processing and pre-arraignment detention. Williams was later arraigned at the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part (LC-CAP) at the Livingston County Jail before Town of Mount Morris Justice Ossont. The Judge did remand Williams to the Custody of the Sheriff on no bail, due to him having two or more previous felony convictions.
The Livingston County Public Defender’s Office was present and represented Williams at the court arraignment for his defense. The Livingston County District Attorney’s Office was also present to represent the People.
