WESTMINSTER, Colo. — A former employee of Pinnacle Charter School in Thornton is accused of a sexual encounter with a student, police announced Tuesday.

Mary Victoria Segura was arrested and charged with sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, according to a news release from the Westminster Police Department.

School officials made the announcement in a letter emailed to parents Tuesday.

Police accuse Segura of committing the alleged sexual assault on Jan. 13 off school grounds in the 4900 block of 93rd Avenue in Westminster. Police are not releasing information on the victim.
