Police Arrest High School Teacher for Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation of a Child
On February 18, 2025, Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) received a report of sexual assault that occurred in 2022. Following the report, detectives began an investigation into David Miles (DOB: 09/24/1976). The investigation revealed that Miles had initiated conversation with the victim through a smart phone application, sent explicit pictures of himself to her, and the two continued exchanging additional explicit images with each other. At the time of the incident, the victim was a juvenile female; however, she is now an adult.
Ultimately, Miles met the victim at her residence in Fort Collins and had sexual contact with her. The victim later recognized him as a teacher at Fort Collins High School. A search warrant was obtained for Miles’ cell phone and police found evidence of the sexual assault.
Miles was arrested on Thursday, March 27, 2025, and booked into the Larimer County Jail on the following charges:
· Class 6 Felony – Sexual Assault (1 count)
· Class 5 Felony – Sexual Exploitation of a Child, access with intent sexually exploitative material (2 counts)
· Class 3 Felony – Sexual Exploitation of a Child, permitting child engagement in explicit sexual conduct (1 count)
“I’m grateful for the work that detectives from the Crimes Against Persons Unit conducted in this case. Protecting youth from any type of sexual exploitation and assault is incredibly important to both our community and Fort Collins Police,” said Lieutenant Sara Lynd, who oversees the FCPS Crimes Against Persons Unit.
Anyone with information regarding this case or other similar incidents involving Miles is asked to contact Detective Matt Dean at (970) 221-6580.
Charges are merely an accusation by law enforcement, and the suspect must be presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
