Newsday/Chau Lam

William Duval Carter, a 32 year old Huntington man who pleaded guilty yesterday to witness tampering, faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced in July.  Carter knew his cousin, Corey Davis, was under indictment on charges related to sex trafficking of women and teen girls when he told a witness to lie to a grand jury about a "severe" cut she suffered after Davis allegedly slashed her.  Davis is serving a 293-month sentence.  Carter also faces up to a $250,000 fine at his sentencing July 6.
