The former head of security at a Denver charter school has been charged with sexually assaulting a female grade-school student during a five-month period in late 2007 and early 2008.
Charged is 47-year-old Victor Ware.
Ware worked at the former Challenges, Choices and Images charter school in Denver. He is accused of assaulting the student from September 2007 through January 2008.
Ware was charged with two counts of sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and one count of sexual assault on a child, pattern of abuse.
According to an arrest affidavit, Ware on several occasions reached under the girl’s skirt and panties and fondled her for up to five minutes.
She said Ware did this in various locations at the school.
The girl, who was in the 6th grade during the purported incidents, said she kept a diary. She said that when Ware found out about the diary, and found the pages where she mentioned the fondling, he ripped the pages out.
Ware has been released from custody on a $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court on Tuesday to be advised of the charges.
