MOBILE, Ala. - Former radio personality Aaron Williams, known as "Aaron the Saint," has been sentenced to jail for a month after pleading guilty to having sex with a 12-year-old girl. Williams, 34, of Mobile, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape. Mobile County Circuit Judge Edward McDermott on Friday gave Williams a three-year suspended sentence and placed him on five years' probation. He was then ordered to serve 30 days in the Mobile County Metro Jail and immediately taken into custody.

Williams could have been sentenced to 20 years prison.

Court records show that Williams, a former disc jockey at WBLX 93-FM, met the girl in a bar, then carried on an almost yearlong relationship with her, claiming he was unaware of her age.

Assistant District Attorney Steve Giardini said Williams should have attempted to learn the girl's age.
