A Denver-based social media influencer and notorious stuntman is scheduled for a jury trial in Summit County next month on assault charges related to a dispute that occurred in March 2023.
David Lesh, 39, has pleaded not guilty to charges of second degree assault by strangulation, a Class 4 felony, and third degree assault, a Class 1 misdemeanor, according to the 5th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Lesh is the owner of the outerwear company Virtika. His trial is scheduled to run from Monday, Jan. 13, through Friday, Jan 17.
The charges in the case stem from an incident that occurred March 25, 2023, when Lesh was snowmobiling with a group. Deputies responded around 1 p.m. that day to the west end of Spring Creek Road, north of Heeney, for a report from a man who said Lesh assaulted him, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
