A young man has been jailed in Colorado on two separate counts of sexual assault. The man is accused of sex crimes against two children, whom he was watching over as a counselor. Police claim the assault incidents happened at Camp Redcloud in Colorado.

Originally from Wyoming, the 18-year-old is being accused of sexual assault based on the accusations of a 10-year-old and 11-year-old. The official charges against him are two counts of sexual assault by a person in a position of trust. According to a friend of the accused, this crime is shocking because the man had been at the camp the year before as a participating youth. This year, he returned as a counselor.

The leaders of Camp Redcloud released a statement saying there are thousands of children that attend the camp each year. They said it is unfortunate that the "selfish" events allegedly happened there, but they will not be defeated by them. They also say that they will continue to advance their ministry and help children and families enjoy the positive and life-changing experiences that they gain while at the camp.

The accused man is set to return to court in a few weeks, giving him time to find good counsel that will help him understand his rights and of the sex offenses that have been raised against him. His attorney will be able to assist him to understand the laws concerning sexual assault. The right attorney will help him overcome the mental burdens of trial by passing down their knowledge of the law.
