According to allegations, a former social worker in Colorado made “sexual approaches” to 40 or so women and threatened to take their kids away if they turned her down.
According to a $1 million complaint brought by Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky on behalf of around 40 other women, Robin Niceta, 41, a child-protective worker with Arapahoe county, reportedly served parents and caregivers drink and invited them to her home before making sexual approaches.
She is also charged with threatening to sever the bonds between parents and their children and fabricating complaints and evidence to support those threats in an effort to quiet her victims and their “restraining orders.”
The lawsuit’s author, attorney Elliot Singer, told The Gazette that “so far, several parents have come forward to let us know that they, too, had their children taken away from them as a result of Robin Niceta’s actions related to their cases, whether by what they believe to be false testimony during court or what they believe to be false reports.”
Niceta allegedly informed one mother she had gift cards for her, provided her personal mobile number, and requested her to pick them up at her house. The mother was presented with an alcoholic beverage but declined it when she arrived.
Singer said that when the classmate rejected down what were unmistakably sexual approaches, Niceta “turned on her” and “done all in her power” to ensure the kid was permanently taken.
On behalf of the 40 women who have spoken out about their experiences with Niceta, Councilwoman Jurinsky filed the complaint.
Niceta recently became romantically engaged with a former social worker who falsely claimed that Jurinsky had “sexually assaulted her kid” in an anonymous report on January 28, according to the Gazette, former Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson, who was dismissed in April.
The former social worker resigned from her position in May as charges started to flow, which ultimately resulted in her arrest.
The social worker’s claim against Jurinsky was referenced in the arrest document in January, one day after the councilwoman had criticised her ex-lover, Wilson, on the Steffen Tubbs radio programme.
According to Denver7, Niceta made the call while posing as a worker at one of Jurinsky’s four eateries that are located close to Denver.
She reported hearing Jurinsky ask her kid, “Do you want to see anything funny?” to the police. and after that started having sex with the kid.
According to the arrest statement, Niceta was “mortified, outraged, and offended” when Jurinsky infamously called the police chief “trash.”
Police were able to end the investigation on February 14 after concluding that Jurinsky was innocent. Later, they identify Niceta as the person who reported the fraudulent claims to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department; she was jailed in May.
Later, Jurinsky said that Niceta has never met her and that the last few months have been “terrible.”
In an interview with Denver 7, Jurinsky said, “All I can say is this is a parent’s worst nightmare to receive a call like I did and to be under investigation like I was, knowing that it was a total falsehood and knowing that it was revenge for my ideas.”
“I can take every other assault that has been directed at me on my feet, and I can shoot back and fight back.”
I’m on my knees because you involved my kid. And the conflict takes on a new form.
Her county-provided laptop was subject to a search warrant, and it revealed a lengthy history of inquiries into “does the child abuse hotline maintain phone numbers in Colorado.”
The search was done by Niceta a few minutes before reporting Jurinsky.
The formerly employed social worker has previously refuted the accusations, saying that she “didn’t know anything” about them and that she didn’t make the phone call to report Jurinsky.
On August 29, Niceta will appear in court to address the accusations made against her.
On August 14, a different Colorado family filed a complaint against Niceta, accusing her of severing a family from their daughter, who was then 14 years old.
According to Fox News, the FBI is looking into whether Niceta used fake information to file a fraudulent complaint against them and get custody of a kid with a previous partner.
