In May, we reported on James Michael Chevrier, a 38-year-old school psychologist working at Green Mountain High School in Lakewood. Chevrier was arrested following a Safe2Tell tip that accused him of sexually assaulting a teenage girl on school grounds. At the time of his arrest, Chevrier was also working at Bear Creek High School and had previously been employed at Evergreen High and in the Cherry Creek School District.
According to the Denver Gazette, Chevrier pleaded guilty on Monday.
A former psychologist for Jeffco Public Schools pleaded not guilty to charges including sexual assault on a child less than 15 years old. James Michael Chevrier, 38, pleaded not guilty on Monday in a Jefferson County district court to charges of child sexual assault, soliciting for child sexual prostitution, two counts of possession with intent to sell drugs and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office. The not guilty plea comes more than two months after Chevrier was arrested by the Lakewood Police Department on May 13.
The case continues a trend of predatory teachers in Colorado, fueling speculation about Colorado's sanctuary status for child predators. As we published in May:

And that's not even all of them.
Side note: Many of these predators obtain bond pending appeal -- deemed by the courts to not be a significant threat to the community (where there are children). In contrast, Tina Peters was denied bond pending appeal because she is too big a danger -- because of what she might say.
Colorado's "justice system" seems broken.
