Keswick Man Convicted in 2000 Belleville Sexual Assault After 25 Years

A Predator’s Past Unearthed. A Survivor’s Justice Won.

For 25 years, a brutal crime haunted Belleville. A woman, attacked in the shadows of a bustling festival, endured a nightmare at the hands of a predator in a hotel change room. Beaten, assaulted, and robbed of her peace, she lived trapped in fear—her assailant a ghost, untouchable. Until now.

William Dale thought he’d escaped justice after the vicious 2000 assault. But a cigarette butt, a scrap of toilet paper, and a trail of DNA refused to let the truth die. When cutting-edge genetic genealogy cracked the case wide open, Belleville Police closed in, unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight. From a cold case to a courtroom, the relentless pursuit of Det. Const. Andrea Boulay and her father’s forensic legacy brought Dale to his knees.

As the victim’s heartrending words reveal a life scarred by trauma, Dale’s guilty plea can’t erase the pain—or the courage of a survivor ready to face her attacker. Sentenced to 12 years, his fate is sealed, but the echoes of that night linger.

Gripping and unforgettable, this is the story of a crime solved by science, a community’s resolve, and a woman’s unbreakable spirit. Justice delayed is not justice denied.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
