HONOLULU — A federal judge Wednesday cleared the way for the mother of an abused little girl to sue the U.S. Army over her death.
Talia Williams, 5, died after months of beatings by her father, Army Spec. Naeem Williams, in their military apartment at Wheeler Army Air Force Base. Talia’s stepmother Delilah pleaded guilty to encouraging and participating in the abuse. Naeem Williams faces trial on murder charges that could bring the death penalty.
Talia’s biological mother, Tarshia Williams, sued the Army, alleging that military police and army employees failed to investigate or report evidence Talia was being abused.
