Timothy Keith Owen was a police officer in Edmond, Oklahoma. He retired in 2015, but still did some work for the department as a civilian employee. He was charged with soliciting a minor, a 14-year-old girl. Someone sent the police an anonymous letter alleging there was some issue, so they investigated and the child confirmed he sent her texts asking if she were still a virgin and telling her he wanted to be her first. He also asked her to delete all texts he sent her.

As president of American Christian College, he used his power to have sex with college students. Although they were the age of consent, (one was sixteen) they were not in a position to refuse the college president. His position of authority made this statutory rape.

Among the more outlandish events is the story of two students who got married. Hargis performed the ceremony. On their honeymoon, they learned Hargis had slept with both of them.

He was also a member of Bikers Against Child Abuse. That seems ironic on the surface, but child predators seek out opportunities to come into contact with children. Through BACA he was presented as someone trustworthy. BACA severed any relationship after the arrest. They released a statement that said:

“B.A.C.A. Oklahoma and International was recently made aware of the allegations against a now former member. We regret to hear of the reported and unacceptable actions of this individual, and they represent a violation of the core of our organization’s Mission, which is to empower children to not be afraid of the world in which they live.”
