PUEBLO COUNTY — A Pueblo County teacher accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student was arrested on Friday, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives arrested 48-year-old Russell Davis at his home in Pueblo for the following:
- sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust
- unlawful sexual contact
- internet luring of a child
- enticement of a child
On Dec. 19, Pueblo County School District 70 announced that Davis had been fired. He was placed on administration leave on Nov. 28 with a recommendation for immediate termination of employment.
Davis was fired after a permanent restraining order was placed to prevent any contact with his alleged victim and the juvenile's mother.
As Davis agreed to the permanent restraining order, no testimony was given during a court hearing last month to detail why the family was seeking the court's intervention.
The judge ruled the order covers the alleged victim's home and D70's Skyview Middle School, where Davis was employed as an art teacher.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office first began investigating the incident last November.
