BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. – A former Hygiene Fire Protection District captain has been arrested on sexual assault charges, and deputies with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office believe there could be more victims.
Kamron Barnaby, 30, was arrested Wednesday as part of an ongoing sexual assault investigation which began after deputies were made aware of allegations against Barnaby by a former Hygiene firefighter.
During the investigation, four women – including two firefighters who were under Barnaby’s command – came forward with allegations he sexually assaulted even while on duty.
Deputies said the investigation revealed that some of the sexual assaults took place during Barnaby’s scheduled shifts.
Barnaby is currently employed by the Mountain View Fire Protection District, according to the sheriff’s office.
