NASCARA former NASCAR publicist pleaded guilty Monday to several charges, including statutory rape and taking indecent liberties with a child, for his relationship with a young girl. Richard Norman “Chip” Williams, 50, of Mooresville, is already serving a 26-year prison sentence on federal charges that he had a sexual relationship with a girl who was 11 years old when they met online in 2002.

Williams pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of first-degree sexual offense, one count of statutory rape and three counts of taking indecent liberties with a child, authorities said. He was sentenced to between 20 years and 24 years and nine months, to run concurrently with the federal sentence. Williams will get credit for nearly a year he spent in the Guilford County jail.

The federal charges involved an incident in February 2003, when he had sex with the girl at the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. A sting managed by the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office resulted in his arrest in January 2006. Prosecutors charged Williams with using a computer to entice a child into sexual activity, coercing a minor into sexual activity for the purpose of making pornography and having sex with a minor.

Williams is a former publicist for NASCAR’s top series. Before his arrest, he and his wife co-owned a public relations firm that represented several NASCAR drivers.

    Okay usually I say I don’t understand “statutory rape” because if the
    girl is old enough to understand and is willing, you should just call
    it even. I say this because I have a couple friends who are “fifteen
    going on thirty”, to put it nicely. But an eleven year old? That’s just
    sick. I highly doubt an eleven year old would realize what they were
    getting into. So I say: F__king sicko.

    Also:
    “And here to perpetute the ‘Nascar is Neckcar’ image, thereby giving
    all the morons who believe that a hayday, Richard Norman Williams!”

    This freak should be wiped off the face of the Earth. There should be nothing left of him but smoking gun powder..Maybe he will be able to play “House” with some of the boys in prison, I hear they are real partial to child molesters. Enjoy your stay you idiot…

    Hey, King… Couldn’t be more flattered. But, I am slightly scared. You’ve got some issues.
