Judge Prohibits Contact With Witness:
It seems that one half of the father-son child molesting team William McQuillen Jr. is in even more hot water. Right after his arrest for sexually assaulting a minor he tried to hire another inmate to kill a witness. Because we all know that once you kill a witness all your [...]
