**Todd Chaming Lewis** is a predator featured in the Ocean County, New Jersey edition of **To Catch a Predator**. He is known for his uncanny resemblance to actor Liam Neeson as well as driving six hours on a motorcycle to have sex with an underage girl. To this day, this remains the longest trip a man has made.

## Biography

Lewis was 36 years old at the time he started chatting with a girl he believed to be fourteen years old named "Jayne". He starts off by telling her he got in trouble for meeting another fourteen year old for sex and blaming her for getting caught because she told her mother. He also tells Jayne he is on probation right now. After that is out of the way, he gets right down to business asking her if she is a virgin and if they could hook up. Todd said he would like to get oral sex from her (saying it would be a great way for her to whiten her teeth) and if she did, he would do the same for her using his lips, fingers, and tongue saying, "It would be like sex, but softer". They chat for five days before they make a date to meet.

Todd jumps on his motorcycle and drives six hours and almost two states to get to the sting house in Ocean County. He comes in the house offering the decoy two bags of M&Ms and a Hershey bar while Casey treats him to some brownies. Lewis seems impressed with the hospitality and asks if she is always so polite. Casey only has a split second to reply yes as Chris Hansen reveals himself asking Todd how the brownies taste. Hansen almost immediately confronts him on his previous charge for which he plead guilty to and is still on probation for: Sexual Assault involving Todd receiving oral sex from a fourteen year old. Hansen also points out the girl was the same age as the one he thought he was visiting on this evening. Todd tries to avoid overly damning himself by saying it wasn't technically sex and by trying to stay silent until he knows who he is talking to. When Chris tells him he has stepped into a Dateline investigation, Todd said he had a feeling something was up, but came because he had nothing to do due to his sex offender status prohibiting him from doing what people his age do(except violate it, apparently). As the cameras come out, Todd gathers up his belongings to head home, but the Ocean County Police make sure he doesn't have to make the lonely six hour journey back.

Todd is charged with Criminal Attempt at Endangering the Welfare of Children. His case took two years to reach its conclusion when he ultimately plead guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison.

## Trivia

* On his previous charges of Sexual Assault and Unlawful Contact or Communication with a Minor, Lewis had served nine to 23 months before being put on probation.
* Tried to appeal the revocation of his probation on his previous charge, which is most likely the reason for the lengthy sentence on his charges stemming from his appearance on TCaP.
* Still owns a motorcycle.
* Works sweeping up parking lots.
