NEWARK, N.J. (AP) —
The attorney for Robert Williams entered the plea Monday, and a judge ordered him to remain jailed until his trial.
Williams was arrested this month after police received reports that the 53-year-old Newark resident had been abusing a 13-year-old child for several months.
A search of Williams' home allegedly uncovered a human head, part of an arm and a torso dressed in a necktie and suit jacket. Investigators also saw a religious obwject believed to be an altar.
A medical examiner has yet to identify the remains.
