A former Montgomery County minister has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl was he was an ordained minister at the First Baptist Church in Gaithersburg.


Timothy Chun-Chock Mann, 47, currently lives in Hoover Alabama. He joined the church in 1991 as the Minister of Music, where he directed the church's youth choir. Police say between December 1992 and the summer of 1996, Mann sexually assaulted the youth who was a choir member. The abuse started when the girl was 14 years old and occurred mostly in Mann's office at the church.

Last December, the now 29 year old victim was interviewed by detectives and told them about the assaults. Mann was arrested earlier this month and held in Alabama. He turned himself in to Montgomery County Police this week. He has been released on $100,000 bond. Anyone with information or who has had any inappropriate sexual contact with Mann is asked to contact the Family Crimes Division at 240-773-5400.
