Mugshot Madness: Dominique Williams’ Booking Photo Released After Arrest for Aggravated Sodomy
Police have released Dominique Williams’ mugshot following his arrest for aggravated sodomy for allegedly raping a woman in an Atlanta nightclub.
Earlier today, we reported on Williams’ arrest and confirmed via online arrest records that he was being held in the Fulton County Jail without bond.
Atlanta police told Channel 2 Action News that the 34-year-old turned himself in Tuesday (Jan. 29) on a warrant for aggravated sodomy.
Police said on January 20th, the day after the incident, the department received a number of calls from people who had seen the alleged assault on Facebook.
According to a police report obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a caller told police she saw a video of a woman being groped and possibly “being raped” as she screamed “No, stop!”
Officers were dispatched to the nightclub and met with security, but couldn’t locate the victim because she had already left. When officers watched the video, they realized it was recorded an hour before they arrived.
Police announced the next day that they had identified and contacted the man in the video, but his name wasn’t officially released because of the ongoing investigation. However, he chose to do an exclusive interview with the Instagram blog Gossip in the City and his name was revealed as Dominique Williams.
Jasmine Eiland, the woman identified in the video, told police she was celebrating her birthday at Opera nightclub on a Saturday night (January 19th) when the alleged assault occurred. She said someone put drugs in her drink and then sexually assaulted her on the dance floor.
The video streamed on Facebook Live from inside the club “appears to show a woman being sexually assaulted in a local nightclub,” police spokesman Jarius Daugherty said.
Police said Monday (Jan. 28) Eiland wasn’t in Georgia anymore but was cooperating with investigators.
Management for Opera nightclub said in a statement on its Facebook page that they were cooperating with the investigation.
“At this time we have met with the Atlanta Police Department and have provided them with everything they have requested,” read the statement posted on January 21st. “We will continue to aid and support their investigation in any way we can.”

Chicago Police Release Useless Pics of Persons of Interest in Jussie Smollett Assault
The alleged racist and homophobic-fueled hate crime against Empire actor Jussie Smollett has rocked the Internet and shaken the nation.
Many people are eager for the alleged MAGA-loving thugs to be held accountable for the assault. So when the Chicago Police announced on Twitter that after scouring surveillance footage, they’d be releasing photos of some “persons of interest” in the case, people were READY for justice to be served.
Unfortunately, what we were greeted with from the Chicago PD was about as helpful in solving this case as sending someone to find a needle in a haystack.

OK. So we got two blurry stills of two dudes dressed in all black from really far away with no discerning characteristics visible at all.
Chicago PD, who the HELL is supposed to identify anybody for you this damn crapshoot?
Honestly, y’all might as well just have said, “We still lookin” instead of releasing these damn shadowy figures like somebody’s really supposed to be able to go up to someone and say, “Hey, ain’t you the ones that jumped Jamal from Empire?”
But anyway, I guess, if you were in the Chicago area and you recognize those generic-ass dudes in black hoodies, leave a tip or something for the Chicago PD here.

Fake Thug Tekashi 6ix9ine Rats His Boys Out in Cooperation With Police
They say prison can break a man, and by all accounts, it would seem that the time behind bars is softening the spine of the ruggish thuggish My Little Pony known as Tekashi 6ix9ine.
According to TMZ, the so-called “King of New York” dropped a dime on his associates as indictments started rolling out like hot tortillas on a conveyor belt against his boys Kintea McKenzie (aka Kooda B), Anthony Ellison and Denard Butler.
Kooda B has specifically been named as a suspect in the shooting of Chief Keef back in June of last year, and TMZ says Kooda B was allegedly paid $10,000 to do the shooting and that Tekashi specifically singled his former associate out to police.
“Tekashi spoke with investigators and pinned him as the trigger man at the Keef shooting last June in Times Square,” according to the report.
The other gentleman, Anthony Ellison, is the man accused of kidnapping and assaulting Tekashi so it’s less of a surprise that he’d drop a dime on him.
For those who know better (mainly people with common sense, life experience, and over 30) it was obvious that Tekashi was nobody’s legit gangster so those who expected him to actually uphold the no-snitching street code (mainly those without common sense, no life experience and under 25) were fooling themselves.
To all of the rodents who used to run around doing Tekashi’s dirty work back in the day: be afraid, be very afraid. Your name might fall from Dennis the Menace’s chapped lips and the po-po will slap you with some brand new wrist jewelry you definitely don’t want.

Dominique Williams Arrested & Charged With Aggravated Sodomy of Jasmine Eiland (Report)
The man who appeared to sexually assault Jasmine Eiland on Facebook Live has reportedly been arrested and charged with aggravated sodomy.
According to Fameolous, Dominique Williams was booked Tuesday (Jan. 29) for the crime and is awaiting his court date.
A few days after the incident went viral on social media, Williams spoke with Fameolous and told a totally different account of what appeared in the video.
“She got me in this video looking like I really did something to her. She has messages between her and her friends saying that she wasn’t raped,” he said. “But, she’s not coming out and saying that she wasn’t raped. She didn’t come out and say that she was raped either. These folks are running with it like she was actually raped.”
“Nothing happened to this girl,” Williams said. “She went to the hospital and got a rape kit. I don’t know if I can say this on record, but I’m pretty blessed and I’m 6’4” and she’s short. At no point, did I bend down and try to put anything in her. There were lots of people around! Lots of people around.”
Williams also said that Jasmine was doing all of this to get back at her ex-husband.
“I guess they were going through something,” he said. “So, she’s doing all of that mess on social media to get back at her ex-husband. And now the sh** done went viral and got my name all in it and people got video of her dancing with several other people before me!”
In the part of the clip that appears to show Eiland being raped and begging for help, Williams said he was actually helping her off the floor.
“I simply helped that girl!” he said. “I was trying to help her off the floor and she’s doing all of that, ‘Help me’—all that extra stuff for no f***ing reason!”
Williams has retained the services of an attorney who released a statement proclaiming her client’s innocence.
Attorney Shequel Ross said that it was a “consensual dance” (in the beginning) and since the police weren’t called as soon as the alleged violation happened, and since Eiland participated in a twerk contest with no panties, Williams should be given the benefit of the doubt.
“I think the evidence will show otherwise… that this was not a rape,” she said.
Reports of Williams’ arrest comes nearly a week after Eiland reportedly attempted suicide.
“I have no service in the hospital, but she’s okay y’all, she responsive now,” a family member wrote on Facebook. “She has a 2nd chance at life but she still saying she doen’t wanna be here so can THE WHOLE FB just keep y’all negativity & other bs [to] y’all self please. My cousin need his wife & Jasmine Eiland needs to be here with her babies…”
L. Chris Stewart, an attorney hired to conduct an independent investigation on the matter, also gave an update regarding his client’s mental state:
#jasmineeiland is alive, despite the rumors. She will get through this. How some people can harass a woman whom they watch get assaulted on video is mind boggling. But that’s between them and God. We will get justice.
Meanwhile, an attorney not related to the case, posted a video from a bystander on Instagram appearing to show the moment Jasmine Eiland was allegedly raped.
Attorney Joshua E. Palmer wrote: “For all the skeptics. Video shows #jasmineeiland clearly passed out when the suspect appears to spit on his hand and you see the rest smh. He then carries her passed out body into another room. The video in the other room is too horrific and graphic for Ig. But you saw it. He must be stopped! Where the f@*¢ was security?!?”
