DNA MATCH
LEADS TO SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGES
26-year-old
Joseph Pinkard (DOB: 1-13-76) has been formally charged with
two counts of sexual assault (F3 and F-4), and one count
of first-degree burglary (F3) in connection with a sexual
assault that occurred in September 2001.
The victim, who was
23 at the time, reported to police that she had been sexually
assaulted by a man she had met at a dance club. The
investigation stalled without any suspect information, but a DNA
sample was recovered and submitted to a state database. The
Denver Police Department received word in January that a match
had been found, and on March 18, 2003 an arrest warrant was
issued for Pinkard. He was located at the Arapahoe County Jail
following his arrest on a warrant from Aurora on April 3, 2003.
He is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court, room 12T, on
April 22, 2003 at 9:00 a.m. to be advised of the charges.
