Williams faces up to seven years in prison if convicted

Knight, 49, was arrested in Las Vegas.
The hip hop mogul has a prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted. He is due to appear in court on Monday.
Prosecutors said they would seek $1m (£630,000) bond for Knight and $75,000 (£47,000) bond for Williams, whose legal name is Micah.
Las Vegas police said Knight was also booked for driving on a suspended licence.
Williams, 43, has starred in several comedy specials and appeared in films such as First Sunday and Friday After Next.
Knight was shot and wounded in a West Hollywood nightclub about a week and a half before the incident with the photographer.
He founded Death Row Records, one of hip hop's leading labels in the 1990s, featuring Dr Dre and Tupac Shakur, but he later declared bankruptcy and the company was auctioned off.
