During a Tuesday morning court hearing, a Denver jury found 36-year-old Stephen Matthews guilty on 35 felony counts of assault and sexual assault involving 11 victims.
Matthews was arrested in March 2023 for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman on a date in Denver, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
By October 2023, at least 16 victims had come forward and Matthews pleaded not guilty to 51 felony charges for assaulting, drugging and sexually assaulting the women, according to court records.
Thirteen charges were dismissed before the case went to trial, and the jury acquitted Matthews of three more charges in Tuesday morning’s hearing.
Matthews will next appear in court for a sentencing hearing on Oct. 25.
