Police believe there could be more victims of a 26-year-old man charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of minors.
Timothy Lineer of Anchorage has been charged with six counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor, four counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, two counts of unlawful exploitation of a minor and two counts of possessing child pornography after he allegedly abused a 5-year-old and a 6-year-old, according to a statement from Jennifer Castro, Anchorage Police Department spokeswoman.
Court records show Lineer was arrested for second-degree sexual abuse of a minor in 2011, but that the charge was reduced to a conviction for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was also arrested, but not convicted, for sexual abuse of a minor in 2001 and unwanted sexual contact in 2005.
Lineer confessed to police that he sexually abused the two young children, according to a criminal complaint filed in Anchorage. Police ask anyone with information on additional victims of Lineer to call APD’s Crimes Against Children Unit at 786-2668.
