How Could You? Hall of Shame-Timothy Mountford
This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.
From Grove, Oklahoma, after being free on an insultingly-low $15,000 bail since October 12, 2009, foster father Timothy Mountford, 53, was sentenced on June 8, 2011 to “eight years for raping and impregnating a 14-year-old girl in his legal custody.”
“Tim Mountford, 53, pleaded guilty in March to a 2007 second-degree rape and child sexual abuse charge.”
“On the second-degree rape conviction, District Judge Robert Haney sentenced Mountford to 15 years and then suspended seven years. On the child abuse charge, Haney ordered Mountford to serve one year in the county jail and fined him $5,000. Both sentences are to run concurrently.”
His attorney had “argued for probation and weekend and night confinement at the county jail.” 
Mountford said ““I deserve to be punished, but I have been paying for this. I have lost my family, my home, and my job.” Oh Boo! Hoo!
“Mountford and his estranged wife Vicki, had cared for 10 to 15 foster children in the 22-year marriage. The Mountfords also ran a day-care center from Feb. 7, 2002, to July 15, 2006, according to the Department of Human Services. They stopped accepting foster children and voluntarily closed the day care.
The Mountfords became the legal guardians of the victim after she was raped and impregnated at the age of 11.
“He was supposed to take care of this child,” referring to the victim, “but instead he took care of his needs,” said Nick Lelecas, assistant district attorney.
In the first sexual abuse case, Tommy James Isbell, 38, of Jay pleaded guilty in 2004 to four counts of first-degree rape and 12 counts of forcible sodomy and was sentenced to life in prison. He had been having sex with the child since she was 9, according to a Jay Police Department report.
The victim’s first child, a daughter, was born with birth defects and died a few weeks after birth.
The victim’s second child, a daughter, turned 3 on May 28. A paternity test determined a 99.99 percent likelihood Mountford is the father of the child. Mountford is also paying $203 a month in child support for this child.
Matina Garner, Mountford’s stepdaughter, has adopted the child and has an open adoption with the victim.
“I wanted her (Garner) to adopt her,” the victim said. ”
Man to serve 8 years in prison after impregnating 14-year-old foster child

“The girl reportedly told Det. Sgt. Mark Sheridan, a Grove police officer, that on Nov. 7, she’d had a seizure at school and was taken to Integris Grove General Hospital. At the hospital, according to the teen, she and Mountford’s wife, Vickie Mountford, had been informed the 14-year-old was about 11 weeks pregnant.
Once home, in her husband’s presence, Vickie Mountford confronted the teen wanting to know who’d fathered the child. When the girl wouldn’t divulge the information, Vickie Mountford asked Tim Mountford to leave the room, and the 14-year-old said it was him who’d gotten her pregnant, according to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court clerk.
The same day, Tim Mountford reportedly admitted to his wife that he’d had sex with the teen one time, Vickie Mountford reported to authorities.”

The lawyer even tried the mentally-disabled defense!
“Mountford’s attorney, described his client as “slow and doesn’t process things like other men his age.”
“He’s more easily confused,” Connor said.
Connor said despite his client’s mental and psychological issues he has always accepted responsibility for the situation. ”
“Vicki Mountford filed for divorce in June 2009, according to court records.
Mountford is free on $15,000 bail and could face up to a life sentence.”

You ever thought that this is all a set up? Someone doing it to this poor family’s just to get there kids and sell them on the black market. Having their kids act dddufferent to their parents and tell them they’d kill em if they told. And make it look like the mother is doing it all. So they mother goes to jail and the kids go to foster homes. Its not right and they will be caught.
Re: “…You ever thought that this is all a set up?…”
No. Because if this were happening, why wouldn’t the kids tell the cops about these evil guys making them say Bad Things about their saintly foster parents?
Plus, there’s the awkward fact that Mountford confessed.
Is there anymore victims out there willing to talk???? We all know there is more but they need let their voice be heard
