Judge Sentences Man In Abusive Sexual Contact Case

On June 29th, Allen Timberlake, a Yellowstone heavy equipment operator, was sentenced in a Wyoming District Court to 97 months incarceration followed by ten years of supervised release. On March 19th, Timberlake pled guilty to a felony charge of abusive sexual contact with a juvenile under the age of twelve (18 USC 2244(a)(5) & (c)). He was arrested on January 27th following a grand jury indictment. The sentencing ends an investigation that began on July 3, 2008. During that investigation, rangers and special agents from the Investigative Services Branch served eight search warrants, enlisted the help of numerous child interview specialists and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and hired a specialized forensics lab.  As part of his plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, two additional charges for production and possession of child pornography were dismissed.
