Former Colorado police chief’s partner submitted false child-abuse tip about councilwoman critical of chief’s performance, investigators say

The partner of former Aurora police Chief Vanessa Wilson called in a false tip that an Aurora City Council member critical of Wilson was abusing her child, according to an Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office warrant for the partner’s arrest.

Wilson’s partner, Robin Niceta, called a child abuse hotline on Jan. 28 and reported that months earlier she witnessed Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky inappropriately touch Jurinsky’s child, the arrest affidavit shows.

The report kicked off an investigation into Jurinsky by the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services, the same agency where Niceta worked.
