Police Technician James Denis Charged with Sexual Assault on Child

ARAPAHOE COUNTY

Sixty-one-year-old Denver Police Technician James Edward Dennis has been charged with two felony counts of sexual assault on a child.

The charges were filed in Arapahoe County Court on Sept. 22 against Dennis, who worked in the Denver Police's juvenile intake bureau.

According to the Aurora Police Department affidavit for arrest, in March, Technician Dennis took a young girl for lunch and then to a house for sale where no one lived.

There, according to the warrant, the girl says Dennis “went into my pants and started squeezing my butt.”

The girl said Dennis lifted her shirt and “started licking her” on the chest.

The girl said Dennis asked her if that felt good. She told police “she got scared.”

She told him to stop and he said he was a “little drunk.” He also told her not to tell anyone.

According to the affidavit, the girl told Dennis’s wife, who also told her “not to tell anyone.”

The girl eventually told her mother and her grandmother. The case was investigated resulting in Technician James Dennis’s arrest and the felony charges.

Dennis has been suspended without pay by the Denver Police Department. He’s been a Denver Police officer since 1979.

Dennis submitted his retirement papers to Denver Police this week.
