ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. -- (KDVR) -- A former elementary school teacher accused of sexually assaulting five young girls was found guilty Tuesday.
An Adams County jury found Gilbert Trujillo guilty on four felony sexual assault charges. The 67-year-old had faced 10 charges.
The convictions are a result of what Trujillo did to the girls, ages 9 and 10, from 2005 to 2011.
They said he kissed, groped and exposed himself when they were his fourth- and fifth-grade students.
The abuse lasted until 2011, when Trujillo was forced to resign. Police launched an investigation about 18 months later and arrested him in June 2015.
