Longmont police announced Thursday that a man designated as a “sexually violent predator” has moved to the city.

Jeremy Rouse, 27, was convicted of attempted sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust with a victim between ages 15 and 18 and was labeled a sexually violent predator, a lifelong label that is applied before an offender’s release from prison.

Court records show he was sentenced in April to 10 years of intensively supervised sex offender probation following two years in prison. He was given credit for 412 days time served, records show.

He accepted a plea deal in the case and pleaded guilty to the attempted sexual assault charge and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Under the deal, prosecutors dismissed two counts of sexual assault on a child and one count of violating a protection order.According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the label is applied to offenders who meet all of the criteria outlined on a state-designed assessment, including: the offender was an adult at the time of the crime or was tried as an adult; was convicted of first-, second- or third-degree sexual assault, sexual assault on a child or sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust; didn’t know the victim or had “established or promoted a relationship primarily for the purpose of sexual victimization”; and “is likely to subsequently commit one or more of the offenses.”

Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said Rouse was arrested on suspicion of having an ongoing sexual relationship with a young teenage girl.

Rouse moved to 240 Main St. on Nov. 26. He is on parole from the Colorado Department of Corrections.

Satur said police do not intend to hold a community notification meeting as part of Rouse’s release, but nearby residents will receive letters.

Rouse is one of three “sexually violent predators” who live in Longmont. A list of all sexually violent predators is available online at http://cbi.state.co.us. A complete list of sex offenders in the city is available online at sotar.us/apps/sotar. The list included 251 offenders as of Dec. 3.
