Suspect arrested in Unlawful Sexual Contact case

 Sixty-four-year-old Laureano Sifuentes (DOB 11/14/1947) has been arrested on suspicion of one charge of Unlawful Sexual Contact. Sifuentes was arrested by Longmont police on a Boulder warrant on the evening of Feb. 8. Sifuentes posted bond yesterday morning, Feb. 9.

Detectives have been investigating Sifuentes since November 2011, when a female victim reported that Sifuentes had touched her inappropriately during a meeting that he had scheduled at a Boulder hotel.

Sifuentes was associated with a local Alcoholics Anonymous group. He persuaded at least two women that he would help them through one of the AA steps, which is a private disclosure of information. That particular step is done one-on-one, usually in a private setting.

Sifuentes arranged a meeting at a hotel in Boulder and the victim, along with another female in the AA group, agreed to attend.

The victim said that during their meeting, Sifuentes touched her sexually. She fled the hotel and called to have someone pick her up at another location, away from Sifuentes. The other woman did not witness what allegedly occurred, but did observe the victim fleeing the hotel.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Colleen Wilcox at 303-441-4483. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.
