Man, 46, accused of sexual assault on deaf man

Sheriff's deputies Saturday sought Timothy Harris, 46, a San Diego man accused of sexually assaulting a disabled man he was paid to mentor.

Harris allegedly molested a deaf and developmentally disabled man, 24, during a five-month span, sheriff's officials said Saturday.

The victim reportedly told officials about the abuse on Thursday after Harris, who was also hearing impaired, quit being his mentor.

Harris was last seen driving a 2001 Ford Focus sedan with California license plates 4UJT924.

A $500,000 felony warrant had been issued for Harris' arrest.

Anyone with information about Harris' whereabouts was encouraged to contact Sgt. Michael Dittenhofer at (951) 712-2570.
