MAN CHARGED IN SEXUAL ASSAULT OF
TEEN
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has charged a
32-year-old man with the repeated sexual assault of a teenager.
Eric George
(DOB: 07-03-73) is charged with four counts of sexual assault
on a child (F4), sexual assault on a child, pattern of
abuse (F3), three counts of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor (F4) and obscenity (F6).
The charges allege that George, who was acquainted with the
14-year-old victim as a family friend, initiated a sexually
explicit relationship with her over the Internet, sexually
assaulted her on at least four occasions over the summer, and
exposed her to pornographic material and provided alcohol and
marijuana. George was arrested last week after the victim and
her mother reported the assaults to police.
George is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court, room 12T,
on October 20, 2005 at 9 a.m. to be formally advised of
the charges. He has been released from custody on a $75, 000
bond.
