CHARGES FILED AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT SUSPECT
January 19, 2001

Contact: Lynn Kimbrough, 720-913-9025

Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. formally charged Erick Salazar-Rivasplata (DOB: 9-7-76) today in connection with the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl that occurred on January 8, 2001.

Salazar-Rivasplata is charged with second degree kidnapping (F2) and sexual assault on a child (F3). He is not in custody and an at-large warrant has been issued for his arrest. The issuance of an at-large warrant enables any law enforcement agency in the country to arrest him. It also places his name on the National Crime Information Computer.

 

*The filing of a criminal charge is merely a formal accusation that an individual(s) committed a crime(s) under Colorado laws. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. See Colo. RPC 3.6
