CENTERVILLE — A Centerville man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing one child and exposing himself to another was sentenced to jail and probation Friday.
Timothy William Bothell, 43, pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony; and lewdness involving a child, a class A misdemeanor, in December. Friday, 2nd District Judge Glen Dawson ordered the man to spend two consecutive years in jail followed by five years probation during which time the man is to have no contact with his victims or any other children under the age of 18 without court approval.
Dawson sentenced the man to three years to life in prison but suspended the jail time. He said he would also consider giving Bothell work release after he serves one year in jail. He is to report to the Davis County Jail March 8.
Bothell came to police attention after being confronted by his wife and admitting that he had inappropriate sexual contact with at least one child of a family friend. Bothell later contacted Child Protective Services, which then involved police.
