A Tulsa youth pastor accused of shocking crimes against children.

50-year-old Timothy Cato has worked with kids for 20 years. He’s been a coach, youth pastor and teacher.

Police say Cato admitted to sexually abusing five kids at his home, all between the ages of seven and 17.

He also admitted to taking advantage of kids from the DHS children’s shelter in Tulsa.

The disturbing report says he would volunteer to help out two kids each week, but would take them to his home to bath them and lay with them in the same bed.

DHS will not comment on the claims, but are conducting their own investigation.
