News Release|

A former school staffer has pleaded guilty to a Class 6 felony for taking “upskirt” videos at the school.

Steven Michael Jenkins, 56, pleaded guilty to one count of “invasion of privacy for sexual gratification” where the victim was under 15 years old. As part of the plea agreement, other counts against Jenkins were dismissed.

After the allegations came to light, Jenkins was fired from his job as an instructional coach at Renaissance Secondary School in Castle Rock.

“We send our children to school to be educated, not to be exploited. As a parent of public school-educated children, I am appalled at what appears to be a steady stream of those in positions of trust who victimize our kids,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “I remain committed to holding accountable those who treat the vulnerable among us as sources of sexual gratification.”

Sentencing is set for July 10 at 1:30 p.m. Sentencing options range from probation to jail to prison. Jenkins also must register as a sex offender.
