The Forensic Nurse

Ex-convict Robert Williams was found guilty Tuesday in the rape, torture, and attempted murder of a Columbia University graduate student who survived 19 hours of physical cruelty in which he scalded her with boiling water and attempted to blind her before trying to burn her to death.

“The woman told teary jurors that Williams repeatedly raped and sodomized her, scalded her with boiling water, threw bleach at her eyes in an attempt to blind her and slit her eyelids during the excruciating torture ”

“The verdict followed a gruesome trial that included dramatic testimony from the victim, who said Williams, 31, made her swallow fistfuls of painkillers, ordered her to gouge out her eyes with scissors, sealed her lips with super glue and gagged her with duct tape before torching her apartment.”
