After raping the child, the defendant - who was also armed with a length of rope - forced the muddy and half-naked girl into his car.
He took her on a lengthy journey to secluded woodlands in Port Talbot, Wales, where he beat her up and repeatedly demanded oral sex.
Sentencing Williams to 22 years in prison, followed by an eight-year licence period, a judge told him he was so deceptive and manipulative that friends and family had no idea what he was really capable of.
Swansea Crown Court heard the incident took place in the summer of last year when Williams put into action his plan to commit child rape.
The defendant forced his victim into a muddy field in the Llandovery area and beat her before stripping her, forcing her to consume alcohol and cocaine.
He tied her hands and then repeatedly raped her while holding a screwdriver to her neck.
The court heard the child was crying and resisting Williams during the ordeal and when she asked the defendant why he was doing what he was doing he replied: "Because I can."
After attacking the girl Williams – under the influence of cannabis and alcohol – took her phone and dragged her into a car taking her to woods near Margam Park.
Once in the woods he beat up the girl and again demanded oral sex, which was refused.
The court heard the girl eventually managed to retrieve her phone from Williams and flee the woods and she then called 999.
Police were soon on the scene and found the girl – muddy, half-dressed, shoeless, and in an extremely distressed state – and took her to safety.
An investigation was launched – which included looking for evidence at the site of the rapes where the child's underwear was recovered – and 48-year-old Williams was identified.
The defendant tried to evade capture but a manhunt by Dyfed-Powys Police and South Wales Police located him and he was arrested.
He denied all the allegations against him.
In a victim impact statement read to the court by barrister Helen Randall the teenager described the devastating impact of her ordeal.
She said she used to be an outgoing girl who would talk to anyone but now feels paranoid and untrusting of strangers and is constantly worrying about people's intentions.
She struggles to sleep, has lost weight, feels isolated at school, and keeps having nightmares that Williams will find her again no matter where she is.
The teenager said "it feels like he took control of my life" and "nothing will ever be the same again".
She said she feels like she wants to change her appearance, change her name, and move away to start a new life.
Judge Catherine Richards told Williams he had subjected his young victim to a "brutal" ordeal which had caused "severe psychological harm and has affected every aspect of her life".
The defendant can apply for release after serving two-thirds of the custodial element of the sentence but it will be for the Parole Board to determine if he is safe to be released and on what conditions.
Williams will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.
Speaking after the sentencing, Dyfed-Powys Police detective inspector Dale Thomas said the defendant had thought he could get away with his crimes.
But thanks to the bravery of the victim and the efforts of the investigating team he had been brought to justice, with the jury in the case taking just 40 minutes to reach its verdicts.
Isla Bryson: Trans rapist jailed for 8 years for attacks on two women

TRANSGENDER rapist Isla Bryson has been jailed for eight years over the double rape the sex fiend committed as a man named Adam Graham.
The perv was sentenced this morning at the High Court in Edinburgh after having been found guilty of sex attacks on two vulnerable mums.

Bryson, 31, was handed an 11 years extended sentence, eight of which will be spent in custody and then an extension of three years on licence when she is released.
Judge Lord Scott told Bryson: "Your vulnerability is no excuse for what you did to these two women."
He said Bryson, of Clydebank, preyed on his vulnerable victims and raped them in their own homes where they should have felt safe.
Bryson posed a high risk of reoffending and would need to be supervised upon release.
He noted Bryson was still in denial adding: "You see yourself as the victim - you are not."
Bryson wore black leggings and the same shocking pink jacket the sex offender had on throughout last month's trial.
The perv's hood was up as she sat in the dock to hear her fate and showed no emotion when the sentence was delivered.
Do they even allow that?
She had been due to learn her fate at the High Court in Stirling, the closest court to female prison Cornton Vale where the beast was originally sent after her January conviction.
But the court switch to the capital came after Bryson was transferred to man's jail Saughton in Edinburgh after a public outcry forced a u-turn by jail bosses.
We were first to reveal Bryson was on trial at the High Court in Glasgow over claims she raped two vulnerable mum’s with ‘her penis’.
OK. So, I've just drawn the line on pronouns. If someone has a penis, they are men in my vocabulary. If they don't, they are women. If a man is serious about being a woman, he should have his penis and scrotum removed.
A five-day trial heard Bryson preyed on the victims in 2016 and 2019 while living as a man - but began living as a woman after being charged with the sex attacks.
I'm sure the timing was just a coincidence! It will be interesting to see if he continues with the transition now that he will be serving his time in a men's prison.
During the trial, Advocate Depute John Keenan KC revealed Bryson was in the process of starting surgery to complete gender reassignment.
He revealed a letter from the predator's GP from last August confirmed Bryson was "receiving maximum recommended doses of spironolactone and finasteride" - a hormone prescription from Glasgow's sexual health service, the Sandyford Clinic.
The court heard the sex fiend was also offered an appointment at the clinic within the next year to be prescribed further hormone treatment.
But before Bryson began to transition, one of his victims told how she met Adam Graham - a "muscular" man - after initially hooking up on the dating site Badoo in 2016.
The woman said she began chatting with him "daily and nightly" before he moved into her home in Clydebank where at first the accused was a "loving and caring person".
But she said the relationship took a sinister twist after her family raised concerns about the relationship.
She recalled: "My family realised it before I could because I love head over heels."
Recalling her ordeal she said: "He knew people that could cause an attack or harm my family if I had said anything.
"I was more scared and sick to the stomach.”
The woman's sister also told jurors Bryson - who she also knew as Adam Graham - had a facial tattoo like boxer Mike Tyson.
Asked by Mr Keenan to describe Bryson’s appearance in 2016, she said: "His head was bald. He had a Mike Tyson tattoo on the side of his face. He was stocky, but not overly."
Edward Targowski KC, defending, said: "It's not a straightforward case as the Crown would make out of women being preyed on by a man."
Addressing Bryson after the guilty verdict, judge Lord Scott said: "Ms Bryson, you have been convicted of two extremely serious charges, this being charges of rape. A significant custodial sentence is inevitable."
We told how Nicola Sturgeon's final weeks before her resignation bombshell had been dominated by the gender self-ID row and the Isla Bryson scandal.
Last month's decision to place the trans double rapist in all female jail, Cornton Vale, before a U-turn sparked a backlash.
And the fallout has seen the First Minister repeatedly refuse to say if she believes Bryson is a man or a woman.
Nicola's absurd and senseless position on transgenders took just a matter of days to come apart like a bomb. And it cost her her career.
The scandal came after Holyrood backed self-ID in December.
Critics had warned of the dangers of allowing people to legally change sex without a gender dysphoria diagnosis, and the risk of predatory men accessing female-only spaces.
A gender dysphoria diagnosis is hardly a reliable reason for calling men women or women men. The labels should only apply to people who carry the necessary physical parts. Penis-bearing people are men, non-penis-bearing people are women. That should be the end of the discussion.
