Hi, everyone. New here. Just want to save you A LOT of time. Timothy Lawless is NOT related to Melissa Huckaby according to the Folsom PD. This rumor started with a Folsom newspaper and has been hyped by one online source. Tracy Press investigated and found it to be false information.

There are several other search sites like yours that I visit daily -- reading the information posted -- and one in particular has a poster who has done a THOROUGH investigation of Lawless family ancestry and cannot find any link whatsoever.

No sense "reinventing the wheel" here. I am not sure of posting the names of these sites. If you want, I can.


Snoopy provided a link to the research, post #130 explains the Lawless/Gomes name.

Timothy Lawless - Pedophile tells judge Child Porn is his 'therapy'


This is in Maine

A 24-year-old Calais man told a Washington County Superior Court judge that looking at child pornography served as a form of therapy for him after working with abused children helped him confront his own demons of child abuse.

FWIW

Timothy Lawless - Pedophile tells judge Child Porn is his ‘therapy’

On Feb. 5, Lawless entered guilty pleas to two counts of dissemination and two counts of possession of sexually explicit material. The incidents occurred from November 2006 until May 2007 when he was caught. Some of the images police confiscated were of children under the age of 12, while others were of minors under the age of 18. Lawless admitted he sent two e-mails with sexually explicit images attached to them — one to an individual in the United Kingdom and the other to someone in Scotland. In all, 300 pictures were found in Lawless’ Internet accounts.

Believe it or not, this is not the same Timothy Lawless arrested in Folsom, CA.
The Sacramento area TL is:
Name: Timothy J. Lawless
DOB: Dec. 11, 1964

He is 44 years old.

The one mentioned above is in his 20's and lives in a completely different geographical area.

"Lawless" is just not a very good name to have it would appear.....
