Student sex assault, MPS contractor accused also charged in shooting
MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee Public Schools contractor, already charged in a February drive-by shooting, is now accused of sexually assaulting a student.
When police interviewed 31-year-old Oshai Williams about the shooting, court documents state she admitted she had an "inappropriate relationship" with the 16-year-old boy accused of pulling the trigger. She would not describe it beyond that, but the boy did.
A criminal complaint states Williams admitted to driving the car as the 16-year-old used her gun to fire 30 rounds into a home on Feb. 1. A second complaint, filed on Sunday, explains why Williams was with a boy almost half her age in the first place.

The Bureau of Child Welfare interviewed the 16-year-old last week. According to the new complaint filed against Williams, the two met at Marshall High School when Williams was teaching Spanish. The boy confirmed the two were in a relationship that included sex.
"This was a consensual relationship where one of the parties was not old enough to consent," said W. Scott Nelson, an assistant state public defender.
Milwaukee shooting; home shot up near 28th and Auer, woman accused
A 30-year-old Milwaukee woman is now charged in connection with a shooting that happened near 28th and Auer in Milwaukee on Feb. 1.
"That means there wasn't a consensual relationship. You cannot consent if you are a child. Period," Court Commissioner Barry Phillips said.
FOX6 News reached out to MPS, and the school district said in a statement it did not hire Williams directly – a staffing agency brought her on as a contractor. Still, MPS said it will address any "personnel matter" in line with district policy.
