High school teacher arrested for sexual assault of a child

In March 2025, David Miles, a 48-year-old high school teacher, was arrested in Fort Collins, Colorado, after being charged with multiple felonies related to the sexual assault of a juvenile. The police began investigating Miles following a report of the alleged assault, which was said to have occurred in 2022. The victim, who was identified as a juvenile at the time, later became an adult and disclosed the nature of the incidents. Evidence collected from Miles' cell phone, including explicit photos, corroborated the claims made by the victim. Investigators revealed that the inappropriate contact between Miles and the victim escalated from the exchange of explicit photographs over a mobile application to a physical meeting at the victim's home where sexual contact occurred. The victim recognized Miles as her teacher at Fort Collins High School, which further raised concerns within the community. Following the investigation, a search warrant was issued for Miles’ cell phone, leading to the discovery of various pieces of evidence. The Fort Collins Police emphasized the importance of safeguarding youth from sexual exploitation and highlighted the thorough work conducted by their Crimes Against Persons Unit. Police Lieutenant Sara Lynd expressed gratitude towards the detectives involved in the case, underscoring the urgency and significance of such investigations in protecting vulnerable individuals. Following his arrest, Miles was held in jail without bond as he awaited his first court hearing. Meanwhile, in Riverside County, California, David Robledo, a 36-year-old employee of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, faced charges related to child sexual abuse and possession of child sexual assault material. Robledo’s arrest came after an investigation prompted by a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, leading to further inquiries into his conduct and the possibility of additional victims. Authorities urged anyone with information regarding Robledo's actions to come forward, revealing a broader concern regarding child safety in educational environments. As these two cases highlight, issues of sexual misconduct involving educators are critical, requiring vigilant oversight and community engagement to address effectively.
