The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrested a 22-year-old Angel Williams Saturday after she was accused of holding a woman against her will while men sexually assaulted her.

Angel Williams faces kidnapping, human trafficking, sexual battery, false imprisonment and lewd or lascivious molestation charges. Four other men are also facing charges, three of them for sexual battery.

The victim is legally blind, the arrest warrant said, and was hopeful to land a job as a babysitter after messaging with the suspect on Facebook.

The police report said on Aug. 9 Williams responded to the victim's Facebook post for a babysitting job. The victim told officers she knew Williams from high school.

The victim told police she was kidnapped and held against her will when she responded to a Jacksonville home for the job.

Investigators said the victim was raped at the home before being taken back to her own home.

The arrest warrant said that Williams then went to the victim's home with a firearm on Aug. 11. According to the report, the victim went with Williams out of fear. The victim told police Williams told her she was going to "work" for her.
