Tulsa County deputies have arrested a former Wynona police chief on complaints accusing him of molesting a relative.

Timothy Lee Boyer, 49, was booked into the Tulsa Jail on complaints of rape by instrumentation and lewd molestation of someone younger than 16, jail records show.

On Monday, Boyer walked into the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office in downtown Tulsa and told an investigator that he had been molesting the girl, who is now 16, for about eight years, according to an arrest report.

He said he had molested her more than 100 times during the last eight years and that the last time he did so was on July 3.

A detective called the girl, and she confirmed that the abuse had occurred, Boyer's arrest report states.

Boyer was the police chief in Wynona for three months from March 17 through June 22, current Chief Sam Weygand said. He said Boyer resigned in June, saying he was going to move back to the Sand Springs area.

The arrest report states that Boyer now lives in a rural area near Sand Springs.

Wynona is between Hominy and Pawhuska in Osage County.

Before serving in Wynona, Boyer was an officer in the Hooker and Pawhuska police departments, Weygand said.

He first heard about the arrest from a Tulsa County sheriff's deputy Thursday morning, he said.

Here we go another rotten apple. Another person in law enforcement giving them all a black eye. Did he use his authority to scare this child into silence? Doing this for 8 years. That means she was about 8 years old when it started. I am so outraged over this. Another life ruined.

Did his conscience (sp?) finally do him him? Sounds like he could not live with himself over it anymore.

I agree, Thunder196, but I think he should have to do the cutting himself with a dull knife.

Joyce and Thunder, you are being too lenient with him. Tatoo "Molester" on his forehead and turn him loose in General Population at the prison of your choice, the rest will take care of itself.

About eight years for this girl.

About three years for the boy whose 'Big Brother' molested him.

A couple of months ago we read about two separate cases where fathers impregnated their daughters. Multiple times! Starting when these girls were just little girls.

And there are so many, many more of these men who we walk about during the day never knowing what demons they are to innocent children.

There's so many of them that I can't figure out why there are so many men who are sexual diviates. What gives? They're everywhere. Priests, Sunday School teachers, teachers, next door neighbors, clean cut looking guys, sloppy looking guys, and the list goes on and on and on.

Yes, Rooster they are just as bad, but how many times have we heard of women molesting little boys? I don't have the stats, but it's a tiny percentage compared to men who molest. I don't understand. They're all sick.

Well, Rooster and yaki.....I see it was more important to you two fine men to point out that I left out women than it was to acknowledge just how many of these sick people are out there harming children.

BA employed a cheerleader sponsor/teacher many years ago who was convicted of molesting a female student. Yes, it happens.

You're right, Rooster. I admit it. I still can't figure out why anyone, male or female would be interested in a child. I don't get it.

She stands near a gated stone pillar out of sight of the great crowd that approached as a seething flame from a distance, she heard the divine cries and her heart ached as she tried to drown those voices in her ears.

Here is the thing, does't make it right at all..but...In history, men would actually marry women as young as 10 I believe. Even back in the biblical days. It sure seems that up until the 1980s, people started actually getting into trouble for it. I think it's about time after thousands of years that this has been hush-hush that we put the people who do it in jail. However, so many of you make the insane statements and to me, by you making those statements, your no better than the one who committed the crime. I think what some of these guys did are sick, but so are some of your comments. We have to hear their case in court and if guilty, well yes we should send them to jail. We also have to start looking at every case and trying to see if maybe the one filing the report has made it up, if so then jail time. Now this guy, no doubt jail time. I just hope while he is in there, that he gets the treatment he needs so what when he gets out, he can be a productive citizen.

there are two sides to every story T.Bville how do you do he didnt turn himself in to save the trouble of fighting the girls accusations towards him knowing he wouldnt win cause anybody is going to belive a 16 yr old over a man. so why bother fighting it a man who was a nurse and saved lives and a police officer who protected lives is not likely going to do harm to people when he saved and protected them so why dont you look more into it.

I also came from an abusive childhood. As a resident of Wynona, I invited this man into my home when he was Cheif of Police of our town. While here on other issues I spoke with him about offenders ( talking about my relative) and how if they change their lives for the good then I can open my arms and welcome them as God does us all, but if they do not change for the good then their life is essentially useless and untrustworthy. I asked how can one live with themselves knowing this. I feel so hurt for this child and will pray that she can over come this tragedy, and that she does not let the thoughts control or ruin her life as it has so many other children. I hope and pray that something I said during our conversation made him think about what he was doing, and had done, enough to turn himself in, for it wasn't but maybe 2 weeks, maybe 3, after this visit he was no longer Cheif of Police in Wynona. My prayers go out to all those in such situations. If I can overcome such tragedies, I have Faith in God that others can too.
