Seattle minister, former foster parent gets 22 years for child rape

Timothy L. Dampier is seen during his arraignment in King County Superior Court on Monday, May 23, 2011.
SEATTLE -- A minister and former foster parent who sexually abused at least 10 young boys was sentenced Friday to 22 years in prison.
Timothy L. Dampier, 39, pleaded guilty to a total of 22 counts involving ten victims between the ages of nine and 17 years old, according to prosecutors.
Dampier had been involved in a number of Seattle-area youth programs at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, New Hope Baptist Church, Ruth Dykeman Children's Center, Ruther Child Center, Samuel House, Union Gospel Mission and Seattle Parks and Recreation. He also works as a minister at several Seattle churches, detectives said.
The allegations of abuse came to light after Dampier was hired as a musician at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in the city's Central District in April 2011. Prosecutors say he committed the crimes between 1997 and 2011.
Detectives said Dampier had been investigated for inappropriate sexual contact with children at least four different times in the past, but because witnesses did not wish to cooperate with investigators, he was never charged.
Dampier initially denied the charges, but last September pleaded guilty to first and second degree rape of a child. He also pleaded guilty to first, second, and third degree child molestation, sexual exploitation of a minor, possession of child pornography and communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

A "man of God" should get a stiffer sentence. 22 years is way too little for what this pervert did to who knows how many children.
