A trans-identified male in Illinois who threatened to commit school shootings and rape children has been sentenced to 12 months in federal prison. Alexia Willie, who pleaded guilty to his crimes in March, is currently being coded as a “female” inmate by the Bureau of Prisons.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Willie was arrested in Perry County, Illinois after the Springfield-area FBI became aware of a number of disturbing live streams broadcast on social media between March and August of 2023.
In the streams, which were broadcast through social networking platform MeetMe, an individual later identified as Willie was seen making a number of disturbing threats towards schools and local children, specifically indicating he had intentions of targeting local schools and churches.
He explicitly stated his motive was “transgender rights,” and apparent retaliation for discrimination against the transgender community.
Willie expressed a desire to carry out a copy-cat killing of the horrific shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. During that incident, a trans-identified female left 6 dead, 3 of whom were children aged 9, in an act of brutality that left the nation stunned.
“A person in Tennessee walked into one of your schools and shot up a bunch of your Christian daughters. That’s not the last of them if you don’t shut your fucking mouth. Shut the fuck up out here, you understand me?” Willie said, just weeks after the shooting had taken place.
“There’s a lot of transgenders out here that are tired of being picked on and we’re going to go into the schools and we’re going to kill their fucking children out here, and that’s the end of it. We’re at war.”
In another expletive-filled monologue on MeetMe, Willie also claimed to be a “pedophile” with intentions to sexually assault young girls using his access to women’s restrooms.
“I guarantee I’ll be in the bathroom raping your Christian daughters and there ain’t nothing you faggots can do about it. You hear me?” Willie said in August of 2023.
“I’m in the bathroom feeling your little girls’ pussies. I love feeling on your little girls’ pussies. You can’t do nothing about it. I don’t care. I’m openly a pedophile. You guys can’t do nothing about us. You can cry. Put me on national television, I don’t care,” Willie boasted.
“I do what the fuck I wanna do you little fucking cunt. You little nasty fucking bitch. You little nasty fucking bitch,” Willie said, seemingly amused by the reaction of another MeetMe user who expressed outrage at his remarks. “Look how nasty you are. Look at you. We’re fucking your children and killing them. We’re fucking them and hurting them and killing them and you faggots can’t do nothing about us.”
Willie had initially been arrested in August of 2023 after Perry County law enforcement was notified of the threats by the Springfield FBI. However, he was released less than 48 hours after being detained on a $0 bond. Speaking to Reduxx in October of that year, Perry County Sheriff Chad Howard explained that regional prosecutors had a difficult time laying charges.
While he was initially charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in Perry County, Sheriff Howard said the charges related to the threats against the schools were dropped at the state level due to a lack of specific target.
“Because there was no one individual person or individual school directly threatened, the disorderly conduct did not stick. It was not capable of being filed,” he said. Sheriff Howard also noted that he anticipated that the remaining resisting arrest charge would result in a simple fine.
“Now with the state of Illinois having the SAFE-T Act, which went into effect on September 18 [2023], those types of crimes are no longer containable. You just bring [a suspect] in for booking, processing, and biometrics and then you release them with a court date and it is all handled by the courts from there on out,” he said.
At the time, Sheriff Howard was unaware of any additional action pending against Willie. But though Perry County was unable to see Willie prosecuted at the state level, the FBI had been compiling a case for a federal indictment.
In November of 2023, Willie was charged with 14 felony counts of Interstate Communication of a Threat to Injure at the complaint of the FBI. But, on March 20, an agreement was reached in which federal prosecutors dropped 13 of the counts in exchange for a guilty plea.
Willie had been facing up to 5 years in federal prison, but a new sentencing memorandum released on June 25 and obtained by Reduxx reveals the courts opted to slash that sentence down, handing him 12 months plus one day.
Following his release from prison, Willie will be supervised for a period of three years, during which time he is barred from being in possession of firearms or controlled substances for unlawful use. He is also restricted from leaving the state without official permission, and will have to report regularly to a probation officer.
Additional special conditions imposted by the court include that Willie will be required to undergo mental health and addictions treatment.
Willie has been remanded to the custody of the US Marshal awaiting his transfer to the Bureau of Prisons. While an institution has not yet been declared for Willie, he is now appearing in the BOP register and is listed as a “female” inmate.
This is significant, as the BOP currently has a gender self-identification policy, meaning inmates will be housed in a facility in accordance with their gender identity.
As Willie is legally “female,” there will likely be no hesitation in placing him in a women’s facility.
Willie was referred to by “she/her” pronouns in the court records.
