NYC predator who 'raped woman in her Soho apartment building' is a robbery parolee, 30, who 'hid behind a car before following her inside'

A 30-year-old man on parole for a 2019 robbery was arrested Tuesday for allegedly raping a woman in her own New York City apartment two days earlier.

The US Marshals Fugitive Task Force took the suspect, Ellow Williams, into custody on the Lower East Side and charged him with the monstrous sexual attack against the 23-year-old victim that police say occurred on Sunday. He denies the accusations.

Police revealed more details about the disturbing case, including that Williams stalked the woman from behind a parked car and allegedly threatened to shoot her after slinking undetected into her apartment building near Thompson Street and Prince Street.

'If you scream, I'll shoot you,' the assailant told the victim, as reported by the NYPD, who released surveillance footage of the suspect entering the building. 

PIX11 News filmed the moment Williams was being perp walked to jail by officers after being charged with first-degree rape, burglary, second-degree robbery, first-degree sex abuse and second-degree strangulation.

The surveillance video shows the creep entering the building at around 4:10 pm on Sunday wearing a black hoodie with red lettering forming a heart shape, dark pants and orange sneakers. 

Once inside, police say Williams followed her up to the second floor, attacked her from behind, put her in a chokehold and raped her.

'She enters the apartment with her key fob into the lobby. While the door is still open, the perp runs in behind,' NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said during a press briefing Tuesday.

'She's accosted on the second floor, where she was put into a chokehold. Perp threatens to shoot her, she's sexually assaulted, then the perp leaves. He steals $40 and flees the location,' Kenny added. 

Williams denied the rape and the small dollar-theft to reporters while being led out of the NYPD Special Victims Unit headquarters, the New York Post reported.

'I ain't do nothing,' Williams said.

Kenny said Williams, who lives in the Lower East Side, was arrested for a robbery he committed in December 2019. For that, he was sentenced to 42 months in prison and another 42 months of supervised release, the New York Post reported. 

The New York Post also reported that Williams has been arrested at least 30 times since 2010 for assault, grand larceny, burglary and criminal possession of a weapon.

It is unclear if he entered a plea during his arraignment on Tuesday.
