Los Alamos Man Tim Pacheco Charged With Permitting Illegal Activity Involving Juvenile

Tim Pacheco, 63, of Los Alamos was arrested and charged in Los Alamos Magistrate Court with three counts of "Abandonment or Abuse of a Child" and alternative counts of "Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor," according to a criminal complaint filed in Magistrate Court Monday by Los Alamos Police Department Det. Sgt. Ryan Wolking. The complaint ties Pacheco’s charges to events occurring between July and December 2025 and in January 2026.

The affidavit filed by Det. Sgt. Ryan Wolking contains multiple allegations and links the incidents involving Pacheco to charges already pending against Kyrina Deschamp and Shawn Cavasos. The affidavit states, "Since these two illegal relationships were discovered and revealed to Pacheco, and while the juvenile female has remained in his care, allegations of another illegal relationship during January 2026 with another mid-30s adult have been received by LAPD and are currently being investigated."

The complaint describes text-message exchanges from July 2025 between the juvenile female’s mother and Pacheco. Those texts allegedly show the mother told Pacheco it was inappropriate that Deschamp was staying in the juvenile’s room, and the mother alleged that Deschamp and the juvenile had been "out drinking." The filings published so far do not identify the juvenile beyond the descriptor "a juvenile female" and do not specify her exact age.

Key procedural details remain unavailable in public filings. An arrest date, arraignment date, bond information, booking location and court docket number are not included in the material released so far, and the record contains no statements from Pacheco, his counsel, Deschamp, Cavasos or their representatives. It is not disclosed whether child-welfare authorities have taken custody or are otherwise involved.

For Los Alamos County residents, the case raises immediate concerns about the care and protection of minors in private homes and about transparency from local institutions. Small, tightly connected communities like Los Alamos rely on clear communication from law enforcement and the courts when allegations of this nature surface. The criminal complaint and ongoing LAPD investigation will determine whether evidence supports the counts filed in Magistrate Court.

A newsroom advisory warns: "The contents of this article may be disturbing to some readers." The reporting to date frames these matters as allegations; Pacheco is charged but not convicted.

What comes next for readers is a sequence of public records to watch: formal arraignment and docket filings, any released affidavit or charge sheet that provides additional specifics, and official statements from the Los Alamos Police Department or the court. Those documents will clarify the scope of the allegations and the schedule for hearings that affect case progress and community oversight.
