Xenia pastor guilty of loitering for prostitute in Dayton

A Huber Heights man and Xenia pastor pleaded guilty earlier this year to loitering to engage in solicitation, according to court records.

Daniel P. Williams, 40, was found guilty in late August after pleading guilty to loitering, a misdemeanor, according to Dayton Municipal Court.

His employer is listed as Arrowbrook Baptist Church in Xenia, according to court records and the police report. The church’s website also lists Williams as their pastor.

This newsroom has left a message with the church for comment, and attempts to reach Williams by phone were not successful.

The violation happened at around noon Aug. 17 in the 3400 block of East Third Street in Dayton, according to Dayton police.

Williams was originally charged with a second count of loitering, as well as a third count of soliciting, both of which were withdrawn upon his guilty plea, according to Dayton Municipal Court.

Williams was sentenced to 60 days in jail, with 60 days suspended. He will be on probation for one year, according to court records.

Also in Dayton this week, two men were indicted on felony human trafficking and compelling prostitution charges.
