While in the Scarborough Bluffs area, Williams began high school at Birchmount Collegiate, but finished at Upper Canada College. During this time, Williams took the name Sovka from his stepfather, and moved again to Scarborough, Ontario, a borough of Toronto.

Following his conviction, on October 22, 2010, Williams was stripped of his commission, ranks, and awards by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Chief of the Defence Staff. Following charges being made on February 8, 2010, Williams was relieved as the base commander at CFB Trenton.

Because he was convicted of multiple murders, Williams is not eligible for early parole under the " faint hope clause" of the Criminal Code. The life sentences mean Williams will serve a minimum of 25 years before parole eligibility. On October 21, 2010, Williams was sentenced to two life sentences for first-degree murder, two 10-year sentences for other sexual assaults, two 10-year sentences for forcible confinement, and 82 one-year sentences for breaking and entering, all to be served concurrently. Another 82 charges relating to breaking and entering were later added. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of forcible confinement, two counts of breaking and entering, and sexual assault. This behaviour later escalated to sexual assaults and later still to the rapes and murders. The evidence showed he had broken into at least 82 houses to steal women's and girls' underwear. The subsequent investigation into Williams brought further confessions and revealed evidence of detailed notes and photographs stored at his home. Over the next 10 hours, Williams gave a detailed confession of the sexual assault and murder of Lloyd, and also the sexual assault and murder of Corporal Marie-France Comeau and at least two other cases initially. On February 7, Williams was interrogated on video by OPP investigator Jim Smyth and confronted with the evidence of tire tracks and boot prints at Lloyd's home.
In late January 2010, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) discovered evidence that led them to suspect Williams' involvement in the disappearance and death of Jessica Lloyd, and suspected links to two other crimes that had been committed in close proximity to other locations near Williams' previous home in Tweed, Ontario.
