A volunteer with a children’s shelter in Tulsa — who also is a teaching assistant at a private school for students with learning differences and attention disorders — is accused of sexually abusing multiple children and teenagers who had been under his care for several years, according to court documents filed Friday.

Timothy Shawn Cato, 50, is charged in Tulsa County District Court with eight counts of child sexual abuse. An affidavit and court records say the victims are boys ages 17, 16, 15, 7 and 7.
