A former Jefferson County Public Schools social worker took a deal and pleaded guilty Monday to sexually assaulting a child, court records show.
Chloe Rose Castro, 29, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, a felony, according to Jefferson County court records. The plea deal dropped a second child sex assault charge and one count of internet luring of a child from her case, court records show.
Castro faces an open-ended, or “indeterminate,” sentence that will last from a minimum of four years to a maximum of life in prison when she is sentenced on April 2, according to a news release from the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
The woman was arrested in November 2024 after the victim’s parents found “evidence of a sexual relationship” and reported Castro to the Arvada Police Department, prosecutors said in the release.
Castro met the unidentified juvenile, who was younger than 15 when the assault happened, while working as a social worker at Jefferson County Public Schools, prosecutors said.
No other victims came forward after Castro’s arrest, according to the release.
