Teacher & Student Sex Scandal In Denver, Colorado - Sexual Assault on a Child

A former Denver, Colorado teacher and assistant principal at the Collegiate Academy

in Littleton (K-12) school was sentenced in the Jefferson County, Colorado District Court to 5 years of community corrections through the Colorado Department of Corrections. The Denver Post reports that, in addition to the 5 year community corrections sentence, the teacher received a intensive supervised probation term of 5 years to life for the felony sex crime conviction.

The teacher and student began a sexual relationship when the student was in the 7th grade. Since the student was clearly under the age of 15 when this sexual relationship began, the teacher was originally charged with the more serious version of sex assault on a child by one in a position of trust, i.e., where the child is under the age of 15, the actor is at least 4 years older and in a position of trust in relation to the child. The act of child molestation by a teacher in these circumstances is a class 3 felony in Denver and all Colorado jurisdictions and carries a mandatory prison sentence of 10 years with a potential maximum of up to the remainder of the defendant's life. In this particular case, the teacher received a plea bargain that allowed her to plea guilty to the less severe version of sex assault on a child by one in a position of trust, i.e., where the child is under 18 years of age and the actor is in a position of trust in relation to the child. Child molestation in this form does still carry very severe potential consequences, but does not require mandatory prison under Colorado law. This particular teacher/defendant is very lucky that the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office was willing to give her the benefit of this plea bargain.

The sex assault criminal defense attorneys at Frankfurt & Trani, P.C. have handled a number of very similar cases and in some cases, have even achieved better results than that of this case. Any form of sexual criminal charge under Colorado law, especially sex assault on a child, is very serious and requires legal representation. A person facing this type of criminal charge should never attempt to represent themselves.
