Wallace Stiewert was arrested yesterday afternoon after detectives
were made aware of an inappropriate sexual relationship that Stiewert
had with a female student.
The
assaults occurred over a period of time in 2005-2006 when the now
17-year-old victim was 13 and 14 years of age. Although the victim
was a resident of an adjoining city, the assaults took place at
Wallace's residence in Lakewood.
Wallace
had been contracted to provide private soccer lessons to the victim.
He is being held at the Jefferson County Jail on a $50,000 bond
after making his first appearance in court today at 10:00 am. The
case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office for formal
charging.
Due
to the nature of the charges and the juvenile status of the victim,
no further details are available at this time. Detectives are asking
anyone who feels they may have information that would assist in
the investigation and/or regarding Mr. Wallace to contact Detective
Loburgio at 303-987-7222.
