I don’t give a rat’s ass if he was going through “hard times” or it was “a huge mistake” child molestation is not ok. I have been around Tim enough with the basketball program to know that he isn’t dumb and he knew what he was doing and getting his little perverted hands on this whole time. It now sucks that he let something like that, which is so hurtful to that poor girl and her family, ruin literally the rest of his life. How did he go to bed at night knowing that he was sending inappropriate texts to a girl who is still in high school, yet alone just turned 15. gross, and we need people like this off of our streets and away from our athletes.

The “Mold” is unfortunately someone who likes children….who will talk to them…seem to listen and care for them. When I read, “How can he throw his life way?” I thought what life? On one level his life is lonely and he does not see his behavior as wrong and if he does he does not have the impulse control or tools to make good decisions. I grew up with a child molester and put him in jail when I was nine years old. He came out two years later saying he said everything they wanted him to say about how he was better. That was back in 1979. I hope that Tim finds and can really use the help he needs to be an adult. I hope he learns that his actions were wrong but he is not a person unworthy of life or else he will just continue to do inappropriate things. He could really make a difference now in his life and others at this point after he suffers the consequences of his actions. The man that molested me continued to molest all of my cousins and is still alive molesting. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Just remember that he hasn’t been convicted of anything. We have a process for ascertaining guilt/innocence; it’s just getting started.

We all know that molestation is one of the worst possible wrongs. Does anyone have any insight as to why nominally educated people would throw their lives away for something they know is utterly contrary to morality?

What the f*** does him being from here or going through ‘stuff’ or his facebook picture have to do with anything? The guy is a pervert; a danger to children. It doesn’t matter who is parents are or where he went to high school. He deserves to be castrated. The schools around here need to do something differently, as this is the third time in two years a pervert has been hired. SBMS and Jacoby Creek both hired pervs, too. Child molestation is much more than a big mistake. This community can be so ridiculous- the result of everyone being on the take in an environment run on lies and secrets.

This is very unfortunate. I know Tim, and would not expect this from him. He certainly doesn’t fit the mold that stereotypes would suggest, please know this. But he definitely made a huge mistake. And this picture doesn’t do him justice. He must have been going through some serious stuff.

Even more disappointing is the fact that Tim is not simply a “school boy” who made very foolish and harmful decisions, but that he is a long-time member of this community and an Arcata High School graduate himself. Shame on you Tim.

Shame Shame everyone no’s your name now Timmy.

Might I remind you young lady’s of 15 years of age are not prepared to deal with raisng children.

Even though women of 15 are biologically capable of bearing children. raising physically,emotionally healthy children requires a lot of time energy and money. The rigors of raising children and copping with society that is as complicated as the one here in the U.S.A. Requires a lot more education and maturity than a young lady of 15 posseses.

And “school boy’s” like Tim here will leave a young lady when he gets bored and dump her on her Mom and Dad or the welfare system. Leaving the young lady with his bastard children that she can not provide for. Especially in an economically depressed area of the U.S.A as the Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendacino Ca. area is.

Some people just do not think. I am a patient man but this I have NO patience for.
