Denver Preschool Teacher Chantella Lucero Arrested on Sexual Abuse Charges

The Lone Tree daycare center and its parents are shocked and disgusted to learn that one of their female teachers was arrested for sexually assaulting a child.

Lone Tree Police arrested Chantella Lucero on last Tuesday. They interviewed her and her alleged victim about an incident that happened on August 31.

Even though the alleged victim was not a child at The Word of Life Academy where Lucero worked, parents were still rattled and concerned.

Here's what some parents told the local news about what they thought of the allegations:

“Obviously it’s sickening and scary … usually it’s something that is something that is a repetitive behavior I would think,” Alicia Osborne told FOX31 Denver.

“We’ve had good reviews about the school from other parents. Yeah it’s sad,” Deepa Thelakkat said.

The preschool’s director, Jennifer Blaszak released this statement:
“We were shocked and saddened to learn of the arrest by Lone Tree Police of a Word of Life Academy employee based on allegations about conduct outside the Academy. The allegations do not involve Academy students, but we are fully cooperating with Lone Tree Police and social service authorities. We have communicated with the parents of students at the Academy about this conduct outside the school and remain focused on the safety and well being of our students.”
Lucero does not have a criminal history. She is currently being held in the Douglas County jail on $50,000 bond.
