ADDITIONAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST SALAZAR-RIVASPLATA

January 24, 2001

Contact: Lynn Kimbrough, 720-913-9025

Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. filed a second case against Erick Salazar-Rivasplata today, in connection with the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl that occurred late last year. The victim had been walking to school when the kidnapping occurred.

Salazar-Rivasplata is charged with second degree kidnapping (F2) and sexual assault on a child (F3).

These charges are identical to charges filed last week against Salazar-Rivasplata in a separate case. He appeared in Denver County Court today to be advised of those charges.

He will be formally advised of the additional charges on Friday, January 26, 2001 at 9:00 a.m. in Denver County Court room 12T.
