Fort Collins, Colo. Closing arguments have started in the trial of former Roman Catholic priest Timothy Joseph Evans, who is accused of molesting a teenage boy in Fort Collins.

Evans was caught on tape saying he "screwed up." The tape was played during opening statements of the Timothy Evans trial in Larimer County district court.

A 25-year-old man says Evans abused him in the late 1990s.

Evans' attorney says the accuser is acting out of anger toward a priest who tried to help him.

Evans is facing similar charges in Jefferson County.

The Archdiocese of Denver has said Evans was removed from parish ministry in 2002, and his priestly faculties were removed in 2003.
