MASSACHUSETTS NEWS; SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS CRIMINAL HARASSMENT IN THE CASE OF A FALSE CHILD ABUSE REPORT AGAINST REP. JAMES LYONS. Rep. James Lyons, a Republican, was not yet a member of the House in 2008 when William and Gail Johnson enlisted their friend Gerald Colton to use personal information about Lyons and his wife to harass them, according to the SJC. Lyons had opposed the couple’s plans to develop property abutting their home. Colton advertised free golf carts at the Lyons’ home, posted another ad offering “my late son’s” motorcycle for sale with Lyons’ phone number, and sent Lyons a message that said, “Remember, if you aren’t miserable, I aint happy! Let’s Play.” William Johnson also committed the crime of falsely reporting Lyons to the Department of Children and Families for alleged child abuse.
