Aurora Public Schools Settles With Former Students Who Were Sexually Assaulted by an Employee For $5.5 Million
Aurora Public Schools paid $5.5 million in settlement money to two former students who were sexually assaulted by an employee at Rangeview High School, according to documents obtained by Sentinel Colorado.
James Dolmas, 30, was sentenced last year to 17 years in prison for a pair of felony charges of sexually exploiting a child. Dolmas previously worked as a campus monitor and theater assistant at Rangeview.
He was arrested in 2019 after investigators discovered that he was in a sexual relationship with a Rangeview senior student and had exchanged sexually explicit messages with a second student, according to court documents. On multiple occasions, Dolmas hit the girl with an electrical cord and paint sticks, causing bruising on her buttocks, legs and breasts.
