Timothy Alan Livingston, accused of abuse and exploitation of two minors, left the country on March 29. Although his exact whereabouts are unknown, The Saturn News states that he took a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The case is spreading in networks and people in Colombia are expressing their displeasure. In the face of this La Cartita Noticias managed to make contact with someone who claims to have been Livingston’s high school classmate.
In a Redditt thread from Cleveland, several users claiming to know the suspect were speaking out. One of them (username omitted by request) advised us that they attended the same high school – Strongsville High School in Strongsville, Ohio. They graduated there in the class of 2005. He said they weren’t really close, “I never liked the guy, I wasn’t his friend. I only knew him through high school.” She claims she has had no contact with him since then.
The records on the high school page do not have Timothy Alan Livingston’s name on record for the class of 2005. However, this may be because it is the students themselves who can choose to add or remove their names. Still, in the thread there was another user who thought he knew Livingston’s older brother also from studying high school together. And the record does reflect in 2003 a subject by the name Michael Livingston, who could possibly be his brother.
On the other hand, it is known that the general director of the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), Astrid Cáceres stated “We have a clear request to the US government and that is that we will accompany the whole process of access to justice so that this crime is judged in Colombia and the offender returns to the country to pay his penalty” after a meeting with the Mayor’s Office of Medellín. He made the announcement in the company of Federico Gutiérrez yesterday April 3 at a press conference.
President Gustavo Petro made a statement on his networks to express his intention to engage in communication with the American government. With the purpose of expediting the extradition process.
