ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The lawsuit filed by a former Albuquerque firefighter accused of rape is no longer moving forward. Aden Heyman was fired when he was charged with sexually assaulting a woman at a party in 2023, but a jury acquitted him last year. The lawsuit said that after Heyman lost his job, Albuquerque Fire Rescue Chief Emily Jaramillo issued a public statement implying he was guilty. Heyman claims that it damaged his reputation.
