Safe2Tell report involving sexual misconduct leads to arrest
DENVER (KDVR) — Safe2Tell reports last month led to a school staff member's arrest for alleged sexual misconduct, according to the Colorado Attorney General's Office. Safe2Tell is a violence intervention program that allows students in Colorado to report safety concerns anonymously. FOX31 Newsletters: Sign up to get breaking news sent to your inbox The AG's Office released its monthly Safe2Tell summary for May on Tuesday. It said concerns involving a staff member who allegedly 'made inappropriate remarks to students and was having sexual relations with them' sparked an investigation. The staff member was placed on leave while the district conducted an internal investigation, which led to the arrest. A spokesperson for the AG's office told FOX31 that it could not release any other information about the arrest, including in which district the alleged incident occurred, due to the anonymity of Safe2Tell reports. 'Safe2Tell helps ensure that concerns don't go unheard,' said Attorney General Phil Weiser. 'By providing a confidential way to speak up, we are fostering safer schools and empowering students and community members to take action when something feels wrong.' School officials were alerted that a student was selling vape devices to other students via a Safe2Tell report. The AG's office said that it was confirmed after an investigation and search of the student's belongings, and the school notified their parents and took disciplinary action. Students and community members are using the program more. There have been 29,619 reports so far during the 2024-2025 school year, surpassing last year's total with two months to go. There were 2,890 Safe2Tell reports in May, a 9% decrease from April. The top categories were: School safety concern: staff – 333 Suicide threats – 283 Bullying – 236 Other top reporting themes were: School safety: 19.5% Bullying: 15.3% Mental health concerns: 14.5% Substance use: 10.4% Abuse and exploitation: 8.3% Community safety: 9.5% Violence: 4.4% According to the summary, 1187 reports led to parents being notified, 504 led to counseling and 376 led to welfare checks. So far for the school year, 96.5% of reports were found to be valid, only 2.2% were false reports and 1.3% were misuse reports. Reports can be made any time of any day by calling 1-877-542-7233, texting S2TCO to 738477, or using the Safe2Tell website or app. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Taylor Swift seeks restraining order against Adams County man: ‘Fear for my safety'
DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado man is subject to a temporary restraining order from music industry giant Taylor Swift after she filed for the protective measure on Friday. Swift alleged in court documents filed in Los Angeles County Court that Brian Jason Wagner, 45, of Henderson, has repeatedly come to her Los Angeles home over the past year or so. Free on Your TV • New FOX31+ App for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV Swift said that the first visit from Wagner was on July 9, 2024, and security personnel told the singer that Wagner had returned at least three times during the same month, and on one occasion, Wagner was allegedly carrying a glass bottle 'that could have been used as a weapon.' 'During each of these visits, I am informed that Mr. Wagner made various statements about living at my property (not true), being in a relationship with me (not true), believing I am the mother of his son (not true), and needing to see me in person, all of which are untrue and disconnected from reality,' Swift told the court. Swift, 35, said that her security told her that Wagner had visited her L.A. home again on May 21 and May 22 this year, asking to see the singer and saying he was there to check on a friend. 'My security team ran a criminal history report on Mr. Wagner which resulted in me learning that he was previously incarcerated. My security team and others on my staff alerted me that Mr. Wagner has a history of sending lengthy communications to me while he was incarcerated,' Swift told the court. Those communications reportedly included details of Wagner's infatuation with Swift, a fictional romantic relationship and other 'fabricated stories,' according to Swift. 'Mr. Wagner has also sent my staff hundreds of emails with similarly concerning and threatening language, tried to divert mail from my residence to his attention, and even lied to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to somehow change the address on his driver's license to my Los Angeles home,' Swift told the court. She noted that her LA address is not public information, and said that his repeated visits and refusal to leave while claiming to need access 'makes me fear for my safety and the safety of my family.' 'The fact that both of these recent visits and Mr. Wagner's inappropriate and threatening communications to my staff about me have escalated in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm,' Swift added. Colorado court records show that Wagner pleaded guilty in a Clear Creek County case to one count of forgery and one count of theft and was sentenced to a two-year deferred sentence on Aug. 16, 2023, and 129 days in jail, which he had already served at the time of the sentencing. Taylor Swift has regained control of her music, buys back first 6 albums A member of Taylor Swift's security team also provided a declaration to the court, noting that he's worked for her for 14 years. He said that Wagner began trying to contact Swift in 2023 while incarcerated. The security team member said that in 2024, his team learned that Wagner had allegedly attempted to stop mail service to Swift's home after being alerted by the Postal Service. He said that Wagner then attempted to get a California driver's license that listed Swift's address as his, and the team learned of the matter when the ID was shipped to the property. The security professional said that when Wagner tried to visit Swift's home in May of this year, he also sent over 26 emails to her staff during the same time. He's now subject to the temporary restraining order, preventing him from legally trying to contact or harass Swift and requiring that he stay at least 100 yards away from her until June 30, when a hearing on the matter will be held.

Aurora City Council will not hold in-person meetings until Kilyn Lewis lawsuit concludes
DENVER (KDVR) — Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman announced Tuesday that the city's council meetings will be held virtually to prevent disruptions while a lawsuit filed on behalf of a man shot and killed by police works its way through the court system. The message was echoed on the council's webpage. The webpage includes instructions for how members of the public can view the meetings or provide public comment on agenda items. However, all public comment listening sessions have been canceled until further notice. Family of man killed by Aurora police last May files suit against city, officer who fired deadly shot The measure was voted on during the June 9 council meeting, with seven in favor, three against, and two members in debate. In May, the council addressed a resolution that would change how it accepts public comment. 'As of right now, criminally, Michael Dieck did not murder Kilyn Lewis,' said councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky. 'It's in the court's hands now, and I would like to suspend this to be virtual until we have an official ruling from the court as to whether or not the city is liable in any way, shape or form for the death of Kilyn Lewis. Because if we are not in fact liable in any way, shape or form for the death of Kilyn Lewis, there is nothing left to discuss, and there's no reason for you to come back.' Jurinsky added that if the ruling takes years to reach, then she's on board with having virtual meetings until the ruling. Family and friends of Kilyn Lewis have held protests during several Aurora City Council meetings. The group has been seeking justice after the 37-year-old was shot and killed by an Aurora police officer in May 2024. In October, the district attorney ruled that an officer who shot Lewis would not face charges. In late May, Lewis' family filed a lawsuit seeking accountability from the Aurora Police Department in their loved one's death. It discusses excessive force, wrongful death and violations of the family's constitutional rights. 'This lawsuit is not just about a dollar amount. It's about truth. It's about making sure that the life of a Black man like Kilyn Lewis is not so easily discarded,' said MiDian Shofner, CEO of the Epitome of Black Excellence and Partnership and lead advocate for the family, in the May 28 announcement of the case filing. 'No amount of money can bring him back, but since America has made money the metric for justice, the family is rightfully pursuing every legal remedy available.' Coffman wrote on Facebook that he believes the group is simply looking for a check, and then they will 'go away.' Deadly shooting of Kilyn Lewis leads to new Aurora police SWAT policies: Report 'Until then, they will continue to disrupt our meetings. They have no choice but to continue disrupting our meetings because their lawsuit is meritless. This is why we have no choice but to stop all in-person council meetings, and go virtual, until their lawsuit has been concluded,' Coffman wrote. He noted that an Arapahoe County Grand Jury was also asked to review the case and declined to pursue charges against the officer. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
