Former PICC Pastor’s Wife Arrested Again on Child Neglect Charge in Sex Offender Case

In a recent development, Ginny Williams, the wife of former Pawleys Island Community Church (PICC) pastor Don Williams, has been arrested again and faces a new charge of unlawful neglect of a child by a legal guardian. This case is connected to allegations that church and academy leaders permitted a registered sex offender to volunteer around children.

The arrest occurred Friday morning, and Williams appeared before a judge later that day for a bond hearing. The judge set her bond at $25,000 but granted her a personal recognizance bond, allowing her to be released without paying any money.

Previously, both Ginny and Don Williams were arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy and obstruction, with Don Williams also facing a charge of unlawfully placing a child at risk or causing a child harm. Both had been granted bond on these earlier charges. In contrast, Warren Perry, the convicted sex offender involved, had his bond denied.

During the recent bond hearing, Williams’ attorney emphasized her lack of prior involvement in similar incidents, portraying her as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. The attorney argued for her release, noting her cooperation with law enforcement and lack of a criminal record.

The new charge against Ginny Williams arose from additional investigative findings, which were not available at the time of her initial arrest. These findings were based on witness statements gathered during the week. This case underscores the importance of accountability and justice, as emphasized in biblical teachings such as Micah 6:8, which calls for justice, mercy, and humility before God.
