LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — A former Larimer County junior high school teacher who plead guilty in April to three counts of sex-related crimes against children was sentenced Thursday to six years in the Department of Corrections.
The case began in January 2023, when a student who had attended Cache La Poudre Middle School contacted law enforcement about an alleged assault by Denise. The victim told investigators Denise touched him sexually on several occasions while he was a student in the early 2000s. Nevertheless, Denise was charged with an additional count of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust following another allegation by a former student against him.
