Golden (AP) - Opening arguments are set for Tuesday in the trial of a former Roman Catholic priest charged with sexually assaulting a teenager.

It is the second trial for 44-year-old Timothy Joseph Evans in two separate cases.


He was convicted last month in Fort Collins of sexually assaulting a young parishioner. He is scheduled to be sentenced in that case in May.

In the Jefferson County case, Evans is charged with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. He is accused of fondling a 16-year-old boy between 1995 and 1997 while assigned to a parish in Arvada.

A jury was selected Monday.

Evans' priestly faculties were removed in 2003.
