Robert B. Williams, 50, runs Xtreme Concrete and Outdoor Living. He was contracted by a Daviess County woman to remodel her home and build an addition back in March 2020. This case was examined by the Missouri Attorney General’s office.

According to the probable cause statement by the attorney general’s office investigator Lindsey Velasquez, the victim paid Williams over $19,000 for this project, but Williams didn’t perform any work and would not give the victim a refund. Williams threatened to release private sexual images the victim had previously sent to him through text messages if she reported him.

Williams was previously prosecuted by the Missouri Attorney General and convicted in Johnson County, Platte County, Clay County, and Jackson County for defrauding consumers, including nine counts of deceptive business practices, E felony, and three counts of receiving stolen property, B felony. Williams had prior prosecutions by the Missouri Attorney General. Investigator Velasquez states Williams had four past protection orders against him from three other women.

For this case, Williams is charged with deceptive business practice, E felony; threatening nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images, E felony; and tampering or attempting to tamper with a victim in a felony prosecution, D felony.
