‘Counselor’ Admits To Sexual Contact With 13-Year-Old Boy, May Only Get Probation
Madison County Jail

A woman who once worked with troubled teens pleaded guilty last week to having sexual contact with a 13-year-old boy.

The woman, 30-year-old Amanda Shantay Williams, was listed as a “counselor” at Three Springs, a juvenile facility for troubled youths that was once located in Madison, Alabama, but has since moved its occupants to other facilities throughout the state. Despite her job title as counselor, defense attorney Robin Wolfe told AL.com that she had no formal training for such a position and that her duties were more in line with a day-care worker.
