FBI Investigation
The FBI has investigated churches where Lawless has been pastor. At one of them, the First Church of God in Clarkston, Washington, an incident of child molestation reportedly occurred during Lawless' tenure. Congregants at the church do not speak of the incident and refer to Lawless only as "that guy," rather than by his name.YouTube: Cantu Investigators Visit Washington Church (Time: 3:13)
