Fr. Timothy J. Szott

In February 2003, he was placed on leave after a church volunteer discovered child abuse images on his computer. By June 2003, he had been arraigned and posted bail before returning to receive treatment at St. Luke’s. In September 2003, he was sentenced to 18 months probation after pleading no contest to the possession of child pornography. In 2005, he was permanently removed from ministry. In April 2008, he was sued for the abuse of a youth in 1999, who had just turned 18. Unfortunately, other complaints were too old to prosecute. He passed away in August 2008 in Arizona. However, in November 2008, he faced another lawsuit. Finally, on June 10, 2019, he was included on the archdiocese’s list of individuals who were credibly accused.
