Carrie McCandless, out on bail, has been arrested for a second time for violating terms of her bail agreement. Prosecutors are saying that McCandless allegedly contacted the victim just days after appearing in court with him on a preliminary hearing:
McCandless, 30, faces charges of sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She was ordered not to have contact with the alleged victim - a former student - or any other minors as a condition of her release on $20,000 bail.
According to a Denver’s 7 news report, prosecutors alleged in a motion filed Thursday that McCandless contacted the student Wednesday, two days after appearing in the same courtroom with him for a preliminary hearing.
Prosecutors asked the judge to revoke McCandless’ bail. An arrest warrant reportedly was issued for her Friday.
As of Monday evening, it didn’t appear as if McCandless had turned herself in.
A plea agreement was being negotiated prior to these events; it’s unclear what will happen now however.
Carrie McCandless originally turned herself in after allegedly having inappropriate sexual contact with the student on a field trip to Estes Park.
The most interesting little twist in the story has to be the fact that McCandless’ husband is the principal at the school where Carrie formerly taught. I’m sure that’s made for a fun work environment for Mr. McCandless.
