Several men have called Denver prosecutors to report they had been groped by security screeners at Denver International Airport, a District Attorney’s spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The reports followed news that two Transportation Security Administration screeners had been fired after an investigation into groping of male passengers at the airport earlier this year.

Prosecutors declined to bring charges against the two screeners in April, saying that the inability to identify a victim made it impossible to bring charges of unlawful sexual contact.

But the case is being reviewed and charges could be possible even if other victims aren’t identified, Denver DA spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough said. She said several men had contacted authorities since the initial report surfaced.

“We were looking at it before through the narrow lens of a sex crime — now we’re broadening our perspective,” Kimbrough said. “It’s possible that some other charge may be appropriate.”

Prosecutors are referring calls to Denver police, Kimbrough said.

“The media coverage may help us identify actual victims and that could make all the difference in how we go forward, but we are still in the investigative part of the process,” she said.

Kimbrough said the review would likely be completed within the next couple of days.

The TSA contacted the police sex crimes unit on March 19 and gave a detective information about an investigation that led to its firing of the unidentified screeners at DIA, a man and woman.

An anonymous employee contacted the TSA in November 2014, and told them a male screener had told her that “he ‘gropes’ males who come through the screening area,” according to the police report.

The agency had an investigator observe the screening area.

On Feb. 9, the investigator noticed the male screener give a signal to the woman who controlled the touchscreen system.

When a male Southwest Airlines passenger entered the scanner, the investigator noticed the woman “press the screening button for a female,” the report said.

The male screener then conducted “a pat down of the passenger’s front groin and buttocks area with the palms of his hands, which is contradictory to TSA searching policy,” the report said.

Under questioning by the investigator, the female screener admitted that she had responded to her fellow screener’s signals at least 10 times.

She knew that doing so would allow him to perform a pat down on a male passenger that he found attractive, the report said.

It isn’t clear exactly when the TSA fired the two. But according to a police report, a TSA special agent contacted Denver police on March 19, to report the matter and said at that time both had been fired.
