Denver prosecutors have filed formal charges against a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman he met through the Tinder dating application.
Brett Sisman, 31, faces a Class 3 felony of sex assault in the case.
Denver’s district attorney’s office said Tuesday that Sisman met the woman through Tinder this summer.
“They made arrangements to meet at a restaurant in Denver in June,” the office said in a news release. “The charge alleges that Sisman later took the victim to his home because she was not feeling well and sexually assaulted her there.”
According to an arrest warrant, Sisman and his alleged victim had texted and talked on the phone several times before their first meeting for food and drinks in downtown Denver.
After taking her to his home, Sisman allegedly said he wanted oral sex, according to the document. When she refused, the warrant says he replied: “I’m not asking you; I’m telling you.”
The woman told an officer she thought Sisman had possibly drugged her, according to the warrant.
Sisman is free after posting $50,000 bail. He is next due in court Aug. 11.
Last year, a now-28-year-old man . According to an arrest affidavit, Darren Auger assaulted the woman in June 2015 as she pleaded for him to stop during an encounter that followed a sushi dinner in the city’s Cherry Creek neighborhood.
Auger allegedly told the woman after the assault that he’d “had a lot of girls say no but they like it afterward,” according to the affidavit.
Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office, said Auger pleaded guilty in December to sexual contact with no consent, a Class 1 misdemeanor. In exchange, prosecutors dropped the charge of sexual assault.
“He went to immediate sentencing and received 30 days in jail, has to register as sex offender for 10 years and pay $1,260 restitution,” Kimbrough said.
