An alleged serial rapist arrested following a rape at a Temecula motel pleaded not guilty Wednesday to multiple serious felonies.
Williams is charged with seven counts of rape by force, three counts of robbery, and one count each of kidnap for rape, oral copulation by force, and sexual penetration with a foreign object.
He is also facing sentence-enhancing allegations of sexual offenses against a kidnap victim, sexual offenses with more than one victim, being an habitual offender and committing a felony while armed.
If convicted as charged, Williams reportedly faces multiple life sentences.
He remains behind bars in lieu of $1 million bail.
One of the victims was raped in October 2002 in the Lake Elsinore area after being kidnapped from a location in Orange County; the three other victims were raped in the Temecula area this spring and summer, according to the district attorney's office.
