Jared Hedges Arrest Details
Jared Hedges Arrested. “Jared Hedges, 48, was arrested March 21 at Taos Ski Valley and charged with two felonies after the boy told authorities Hedges had sexually assaulted him. Hedges was a coach for Team Summit Colorado, a youth ski club at Copper Mountain that focuses on developing young athletes. He did not return a request for comment Wednesday. Hedges served as head coach for the team’s alpine racing program for skiers under 14. He is no longer a coach for the club, executive director CB Bechtel said in a statement posted on the club’s website Thursday.” [Denver Post]
Abuse Alleged. “Court documents out of Taos, New Mexico state a nine-year-old on Team Summit’s ski team called his parents from a recent team trip to Taos, reporting a parent’s nightmare. “He was found to have unzipped the boy’s sleeping bag and assaulted him multiple times until the boy was able to separate himself from his iPad, and in a panic-stricken state, contacted his mother, who then contacted local authorities,” Jordan said.” [KDVR]
