Sex tape lawsuit
Williams sued 59 defendants in countries such as the United States, Australia, South Africa, and The Netherlands for posting a sex video allegedly showing her in the back of a WVEC news van. She first discovered the video in August 2004 during her first week at law school. Her spokeswoman Lavinia Mann Cummings said, "These Web sites allege that the woman in the video is Miss West Virginia, but it's not", adding, "Some sites even had her pageant picture next to the video."{{cite news|author= Samantha Murphy Court TV |url=http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/31/williams/index.html |title=Ex-beauty queen sues porn Web sites - Mar 31, 2005 |publisher=CNN.com |date=2005-03-31 |accessdate=2010-09-22}}
