SEATTLE—
In May 2011, one of Timothy Dampier’s victims came forward and told his story — it marked the end of years of abuse Dampier had exterted on children he had contact with.
Dampier has been in jail since then and in court today, as one of his victim’s looked on, he pleaded guilty to 22 counts of child sexual assault and possession of child pornography.
Once a trusted leader in two Seattle churches Dampier had been a respected role model, but now he is viewed as a convicted felon and predatory child molester.
His appearance in court today was part of a plea deal that avoids a trial and ensures his victims won’t have to relive the abuse on the witness stand.
