The former Fort Collins priest imprisoned in 2007 for sexually assaulting child parishioners in two counties has been granted parole.
Timothy Evans, 57, was sentenced to 14 years to life in prison in 2007 for sexually assaulting a teen boy who worked at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, where Evans was a pastor.
Evans’ last request for parole was denied after a Dec. 2 hearing at the Fremont Correctional Facility in Canon City, where Evans is being held. Evans acknowledged the hearing was his third since he became eligible for parole in January 2018.
The parole board announced last week that Evans had been approved for parole after his June parole hearing. Evans will be eligible for release on July 30, according to a Department of Corrections spokesperson.
