Prosecutors have charged a former Commerce City teacher with sexually assaulting an underage student nine years ago when the student was in sixth grade, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a press release Tuesday.
Michelle McMillan, 44, turned herself into the Adams County Detention Facility on Sunday after detectives with the Commerce City and Brighton police departments’ sexual assault task force issued a warrant for her arrest.
McMillan faces a charge of felony sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust after a sixth-grade student told a parent in December that McMillan had sexually assaulted him in 2016 when she was a teacher at Landmark Academy in Commerce City’s Reunion neighborhood.
The press release said investigators conducted an “exhaustive” probe into the allegation and issued a warrant for McMillan’s arrest last week.
