LAKEWOOD, Colo. — A Lakewood middle school staff member is accused of inappropriately touching male students during school hours.
Luis Fernando Robles-Luevanos, 27, was arrested Friday on suspicion of sexual assault by one in a position of trust, the Lakewood Police Department announced Monday.
Robles-Luevanos worked as a staff member at Creighton Middle School. Specifically, he served as a coach, liaison and classroom instructor, according to Lakewood PD. He also worked closely with Spanish-speaking families.
In a letter to parents, Jeffco Public Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland and Creighton Middle School Principal Nick Kemmer said two students came forward on Thursday. Lakewood police began an investigation, and Robles-Luevanos was placed on administrative leave.
The process to terminate his employment is in progress, Dorland and Kemmer said.
“It is absolutely unacceptable and heartbreaking to us that a student would be abused or harmed in any way. Jeffco’s Title IX team is working closely with Lakewood PD to extend all available support and resources within the district to victims and their families,” the letter states.
