Editor's Note: This initial version of this article incorrectly referred to Robin Niceta as a social worker, rather than a child protective caseworker. Her job description has been corrected throughout the article.
A former Colorado child protection caseworker faces charges on accusations that she filed a false report of child abuse against an elected official — and now, a new lawsuit alleges she tried to take away the children of women who resisted her sexual advances.
Robin Niceta, 40, faces a felony charge of retaliation against an elected official, as well as a misdemeanor charge of making a false report of child abuse as a mandatory reporter. Police say that the alleged offenses happened when Niceta worked in the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services.
According to a criminal complaint, Niceta called the Department of Human Services anonymously to report that a local councilwoman, Danielle Jurinsky, sexually abused her own son in the presence of her employees.
The criminal complaint alleges that Niceta used a personal phone to make the call, and that authorities investigated the case and found that the allegations were untrue.
Authorities believe that Niceta made the call after Jurinsky appeared on a local radio show and called for the firing of the Aurora Police Chief, who was Niceta's girlfriend at the time.
After the allegations were made, Niceta resigned from her job. She has been released from jail on $4,000 bond and has not yet entered a plea.
But things have gotten worse for Niceta. After Jurinsky filed a civil lawsuit against Niceta and the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services, several other women came forward, alleging that Niceta, when a county child protective caseworker, would lure them in, make sexual advances towards them, and when the advances were rejected, Niceta would try to take their children away.
The attorney for Jurinsky has filed documents asking for a class-action suit for "well over 40 persons" whose families were affected by Niceta's alleged actions.
According to the lawsuit, which was obtained by PEOPLE, all the alleged victims "experienced nearly identical conduct, including being investigated based on false allegations ... and being subject to Defendants' unconstitutional attempts to separate her from her child."
In an interview with KDVR-TV, attorney Elliott Singer alleged that one of his clients recounted that she had a troubling interaction with Niceta.

Niceta gave her personal cell phone number to the mother who was the target of a child protection investigation "and asked her to come to her personal residence," Singer alleged.
"When she arrived there, Niceta invited the target of this investigation into her house, offering her an alcoholic beverage. Once she declined what was clearly sexual advances, Niceta essentially turned on her and did everything in her power to make sure the child was permanently removed," alleged Singer.
After the latest allegations, the Colorado Department of Human Services issued a statement to ABC-7, saying that it is "conducting an evaluation of potential fraud and child safety concerns related to activities by a former social caseworker." That investigation is ongoing.
Niceta has not yet entered a plea to the criminal charges against her. Her attorneys did not return PEOPLE's request for comment.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KDVR) — A jury has found Letecia Stauch guilty of murdering her stepson Gannon in 2020 and she has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Stauch was found guilty of all charges related to murdering her stepson, 11-year-old Gannon, including first-degree murder after deliberation, first-degree murder of a child under 12 years old by a person in a position of trust, tampering with a deceased human body and tampering with physical evidence.
For each murder count, she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. These sentences will be merged, meaning they will be served at the same time.
Additionally, she was sentenced to 12 years for tampering with a deceased human body and 18 months for tampering with physical evidence. These will be served after her life sentence.
FOX31’s Nicole Fierro has been following this case from the beginning and has been monitoring the trial since it began. She was in court for the reading of the verdict. Closing arguements made in Letecia Stauch murder trial
On Jan. 27, 2020, Stauch called the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and reported Gannon left their home near Colorado Springs and never returned. Investigators believe Stauch killed Gannon sometime after 2 p.m. that day.
Police arrested her on March 2, 2020, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They found Gannon’s body in Pace, Florida, on March 18.
In September of that year, Stauch underwent a psychiatric evaluation and in January 2021 she was found competent to stand trial. A judge determined there was enough evidence to proceed with a trial in September 2021 and in November Stauch entered a not guilty plea.
Stauch changed her plea to not guilty by reason of insanity in February 2022 and over the course of last year she underwent several additional mental health evaluations.
The trial began with jury selection in March and opening statements followed on April 3.

DENVER (KDVR) �� A local 10-year-old amputee is defying odds and breaking records as a track star and now she’s about to compete at the national level.
Just last year, Carmen Wilkey started running track and now she’s heading to Alabama to compete nationally.
“In her first year, she actually set three national records of her age group, classification and gender,” her father, Michael Wilkey, said.
Carmen was born without her left fibula, outside metatarsal and pinky toe, which led to an amputation as a baby.

Big Brother don't care
Police love surveillance cameras, but not the cost. Setting up a high-definition system at a single site can cost thousands of dollars. So officials came up with a workaround in Richmond Heights, Ohio, east of Cleveland. The city will soon make all banks, restaurants, hotels, and retail outlets within its jurisdiction install and maintain surveillance systems at the businesses’ own expense. A previous ordinance, passed in December 2021, does the same thing at apartment complexes. Cameras must be government-approved and cover every entrance and parking lot 24/7. Property owners must also store the digital files for 30 days at their own expense. If anything breaks, they must pay for repairs or risk $500 daily fines. The city makes no exceptions for vandalism, power outages, or technical glitches.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/2979641/cities-are-forcing-businesses-to-spy-on-themselves-and-pay-for-it/

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (BP) — A former volunteer for Immanuel Baptist Church turned herself into police April 17 on charges of sexual assault, first degree. Reagan Gray, 26, was a volunteer in the church’s music ministry and a teacher at Little Rock Christian Academy, reported the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. She had been on leave from her job as a teacher at Sylvan Hills Middle School since Feb. 7. A criminal court hearing has been set for June 17 at 10 a.m., according to court documents. The Democrat Gazette cited a March 12 affidavit that authorities charged Gray with assaulting a teen from Sept. 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021. While the victim’s age is redacted, in various reports he is stated as being 15 or 16. In addition to physical interactions, the volunteer and teen also swapped nude photographs.***

Drugged her?
DENVER (KDVR) — After Suzanne Morphew’s remains were found in 2023, an autopsy determined Morphew died by homicide with several drugs in her system. Morphew never returned home after she went on a bike ride in Chaffee County in 2020. Five days later, a personal item of Morphew’s was found, but it took three more years for her remains to be found in Saguache County in September.*** Morphew died by “undetermined means in the setting of butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine intoxication.” According to the autopsy, “These drugs are marketed as a compounded injectable chemical immobilizer for wildlife providing pharmacologically reversible analgesia, sedation and immobilization.”*** https://kdvr.com/news/local/suzanne-morphews-autopsy-finds-animal-tranquilizer-other-drugs-in-system/

Let's see how his corpse balances the scales.
DENVER — An ex-National Security Agency employee out of Colorado Springs was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison on Monday for attempted espionage. Jareh Sebastian Dalke, a 32-year-old Army veteran who lived in Colorado Springs, was sentenced on Monday morning. He faced charges in connection with his effort to transmit classified National Defense Information (NDI) to an agent of the Russian Federation, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Dalke, who has degrees related to cybersecurity, worked as an information systems security designer at the National Security Agency (NSA) between June 6 and July 1, 2022. Between August and September, he used an encrypted email account to transmit excerpts of three classified documents to a person he believed was a Russian agent but was actually a FBI online convert employee, the DOJ said. The department said Dalke communicated with the undercover agent thinking he was demonstrating his "legitimate access and willingness to share." In late August, he requested $85,000 in return for the information.*** On Sept. 28, 2022, Dalke arranged for more classified information to be passed along to who he thought was a Russian agent. He transferred five files, four of which contained top secret information. The other file was a letter that read "My friends! ... I am very happy to finally provide this information to you… I look forward to our friendship and shared benefit. Please let me know if there are desired documents to find and I will try when I return to my main office.”*** According to his arrest affidavit, Dalke told the undercover agent that he had $237,000 in debts, according to the Associated Press. In 2017, he filed for bankruptcy because of student loan and credit card debts, it said. He allegedly told the undercover agent that providing the classified information for payment was “an opportunity to help balance scales of the world while also tending to my own needs," the AP reported.***

So the women in the house shot all those officers?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) — Three U.S. Marshal task force officers and a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer were killed, and four other officers, three of whom were with CMPD, were hurt during an east Charlotte shootout that stemmed from a fugitive warrant operation on Monday afternoon. Residents, along with anyone in the area of the neighborhood, were asked to avoid the area as active gunfire was ongoing for hours. At 4:56 p.m., CMPD said the area was safe. The situation began around 1:50 p.m. along Galway Drive near Denson Place. CMPD announced that Officer Joshua Eyer was shot in the line of duty Monday afternoon after assisting other officers with the apprehension of a suspect. Eyer was a six-year veteran and a member of the 178th Recruit Class. The North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections stated that two of the U.S. Marshals Task Force members were N.C. Department of Adult Correction veterans. They were identified as Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott. Poloche leaves behind a wife and two children, while Elliott and his wife are parents to one child. Police say as the task force tried to serve a warrant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, they were met with gunfire, and officers returned fire. During that shootout, authorities struck the suspect, identified as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes, and he was pronounced deceased in the front yard. Hughes was wanted for possession of a firearm by a felon and two counts of felony to elude out of Lincoln County. As officers approached Hughes, they said they were met by more gunfire from inside the home. After a long standoff, officers cleared the house and found two females inside, who were both brought to the police station as persons of interest.***

What is it w/ the Porter family?
The younger brother of Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. was arrested early Sunday morning in Missouri on investigation of driving while intoxicated. Jevon Porter, 20, was arrested at 1:31 a.m. in Boone County, Missouri, State Highway Patrol records show. Porter, who was released, also was accused of speeding. The 6-foot-11 Columbia, Missouri, native is a sophomore on the Loyola Marymount University basketball team. *** The incident represents the latest in a string of arrests and other alleged misdeeds for the Porter family. Coban Porter, another brother of the NBA star, was sentenced to six years in prison last month for killing a woman in a drunk-driving crash in Denver last year. Jontay Porter, another sibling who played for the Toronto Raptors, was banned from the NBA last month after a league investigation found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors about his health. https://www.denverpost.com/2024/05/01/jevon-porter-arrested-driving-intoxicated-missouri/

Speaking of ethical lapses by Trump prosecutors....
***Judge Juan Merchan expressly ruled that prosecutors are not permitted to use Cohen’s guilty pleas for two campaign finance violations in 2018 as evidence that Trump committed a crime, but the judge did provide leeway on the matter, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has used it.*** Matthew Colangelo, one of Bragg’s leading prosecutors, outright said in his opening statement that he expects Cohen, Bragg’s star witness in the trial, to testify about how Cohen pleaded guilty for his role in arranging hush money payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal and porn star Stormy Daniels. Both women alleged they had affairs with Trump. “Cohen will also testify in this trial that he ultimately pled guilty and went to jail for causing an unlawful corporate contribution in connection with the Karen McDougal payments and for making an excessive campaign contribution in connection with the Stormy Daniels payoff,” Colangelo told the jury. Conservative legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy called the remarks “breathtakingly mendacious.” “Colangelo was not properly admonishing the jury that Cohen is a witness of dubious credibility. He was signaling to them that the NDA payments to McDougal and Daniels — for which he had just blamed Trump in an extensive narrative — were crimes for which Cohen ‘went to jail,'” McCarthy said in an op-ed. “In reality, Cohen was sentenced to prison because of his lucrative fraud crimes, not the [Federal Election Campaign Act] charges. The SDNY never charged Trump, and it almost certainly wouldn’t have charged Cohen if he hadn’t agreed to plead guilty.”*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/2987906/prosecutors-test-limits-admissible-evidence-trump-hush-money-trial/
