ELIZABETH, Colo. – A juvenile was kept inside a home in Elbert County for two weeks in September, was given booze and methamphetamine by three people and was sexually assaulted by one of them, according to the county sheriff’s office.

The three people, 46-year-old Cain Kelman, 47-year-old Deanna Weber and 62-year-old Ricky Taggart, face an array of charges after they allegedly brought the minor to a home in the 4800 block of Highway 86 in unincorporated Elizabeth, and kept the juvenile there for around two weeks in September.

Deputies arrested the three after serving a search warrant at the home on Highway 86 on Sept. 27. All three have since posted bond and are scheduled for court appearances over the next two months.

According to the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office, while the three were keeping the victim at the house, the victim was given alcohol, meth and was sexually assaulted by Kelman “multiple times.”

Kelman faces four felonies and one misdemeanor charge in relation to the incident: distribution of a controlled substance to a minor, sexual contact – coercion of a child, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of a controlled substance, and sex assault – 10-year age difference.

Weber and Taggart both face charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and Taggart faces an additional controlled substance possession charge. He pleaded guilty to a similar charge out of Denver earlier this year.

The sheriff’s office has yet to release additional details about the alleged crimes, as the affidavits are suppressed.

DENVER – Multiple students at Denver Discovery School will be disciplined after a classmate reported they had made a list of threats against several other students.

Denver Public Schools spokesperson Alexandra Renteria said that “at no time were our students and staff in any danger” because of the list, which was discovered Thursday and confirmed to have threats tied to specific students. The school is a charter school within DPS.

Renteria said a “brave” student saw the list and told an adult at the school. After the list was discovered, the district notified the Denver Police Department and Denver Public Schools’ Department of Public Safety.

Renteria told Denver7 Investigates she was unable to give further information about the incident, but said “the students who created the list will face consequences.”

She said the parents of the students who created the list were notified Thursday of the incident, that the parents of the students who were named on the list were called Friday.

Denver Discovery School’s principal Dana Ellis sent a letter to families Friday apologizing for not immediately notifying parents about the discovery of the list. The letter reads:

It is our priority to keep you informed of incidents related to student safety. This letter is to let you know that yesterday we discovered a list created by students with names of other students and threats against them. We are proud of our brave student who saw the note and told a trusted adult.

Denver police and the DPS Department of Safety were called to investigate. At no time were our students or staff in any danger. Not all of the parents of the students involved were notified yesterday when the incident happened. Thus, some parents did not know about what happened until today. This is not acceptable. My sincere apologies to these families. We will continue to learn and grow, and contacting parents about events at school will also be a priority.

We do not take threats lightly. The school will follow our District’s Code of Conduct in addressing this matter.

I would like to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students is our No. 1 priority at Denver Discovery School. Our school works closely with the Department of Safety and the Denver Police Department to report all safety incidents that occur at our school and anything suspicious that may occur in the neighborhood.

Thank you for your support in keeping our students and school safe. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dana Ellis

PARKER, Colo. – Six teenagers have been arrested and could face charges in relation to a large party they allegedly threw at a man’s home while he was having dinner with a friend last Friday night.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the teens’ arrests Wednesday, but did not provide further details of their charges. The sheriff’s office did not name the teens because they are juveniles.

Mike Cox, who owns the home and had recently put it on the market for sale, said he was at a friend’s home for dinner that evening, and that when he returned home about two hours after he first left, he found sheriff’s deputies and teenagers.

Dozens of them had somehow gotten into Cox’s home and thrown a party. According to authorities, photos and videos posted on social media, the teenagers brought beer to the party and drank some champagne Cox already had in his home.

“I think we were targeted because our house was for sale on the market, and somebody saw it online and thought it was going to be empty. But it wasn’t,” Cox told Denver7 earlier this week.

The teens left a broken window in the home’s basement and broken glass in a shower.

“You can see on the floor—they were squirting champagne from standing on our counter top and squirting it all over the house. It’s on the ceiling, on the floor, on our furniture. Everywhere,” said Cox.

He told Denver7 earlier this week he hoped the teens would be prosecuted.

“They don’t value anything. They don’t value people’s hard work, their property – any of it,” he said.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office tells Denver7 it is still looking to identify additional suspects.
