A Federal Judge Has Dismissed Claims Against Johnson City In A Lawsuit Over The Police Department’s Handling Of The Sean Williams Case. The Dismissal Is Part Of A 28-Million-Dollar Settlement Between The City And Unnamed Women Who Accused Williams Of Rape And Claimed Police Failed To Investigate. Attorneys Say The Settlement Was Not Due To Lack Of Evidence But The Risk Of Meeting The Burden Of Proof At Trial. The Judge Has Given The Women Until March Twenty-Fourth To Request Preliminary Approval. Johnson City Still Faces Two Other Lawsuits Related To Williams.
