FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A former Roman Catholic priest was advised Wednesday of felony sexual assault charges against him, according to court documents.

Former Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton parish priest Timothy Joseph Evans, 43, faces two counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and one count of contributing to the delinquency of minor, according to court documents.

City police and prosecutors said a gag order kept them from discussing details.

Police requested an arrest warrant for Evans on Nov. 22, when District Court Judge Jolene Blair ordered the case file sealed.
