The Ouray County Plaindealer reported on Wednesday that a teenage girl had allegedly been assaulted multiple times during a late-night party with the Ouray County police chief's stepson and two others in May. The 17-year-old reported the alleged assaults to investigators, and said that she screamed and fought back while Police Chief Jeff Wood and his family slept upstairs. Wood declined to comment for the Plaindealer's story
According to the Plaindealer and a news release from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Wood's stepson and two other men were arrested on charges of felony sexual assault in December.
The story outlining the alleged assault, charges and ongoing case was meant to be on the front page of the Plaindealer this week, but physical copies sold in newspaper racks throughout Ouray County were stolen, the paper said in a statement above its online edition attributed to co-publisher Erin McIntyre. McIntyre was the author of the piece about the alleged assault.
