Drug Rehab Counselor Arrested for Stalking and Sexual Assault of Client

ONE ROTTEN APPLE? –

Jan. 25, 2021 – According to the Boulder Police Department, detectives began investigating Yepes earlier this month after a female client reported he “repeatedly contacted her and initiated contacts that were sexual in nature.”A spokesperson with Mental Health Partners, Kristina Shaw, told CBS4 that Yepes worked full-time as a member of support staff in a group area and was not a licensed therapist. She said Yepes was terminated Dec. 1st, shortly after the initial complaint was received. Yepes had been hired Oct. 19th.  Yepes was advised of the charges in court Monday afternoon. His bond was set at $25,000. He is scheduled to return for formal filing of charges on Jan. 27th. An online search of Colorado criminal records reveals he has no prior arrests or convictions. Boulder PD did not provide specific details that suggest why detectives believe Yepes may have other victims.
