Colorado Statutes
Plaintiff also cites Colorado statutes which, she claims, support the proposition that her
identity as the victim of domestic violence is protected by Colorado law. It is not. Section 13-
90-107(k),° is a testimonial privilege statute, not a document-confidentiality statute. That
provision forbids a victim’s advocate from being required to testify concerning any
communications with an alleged victim of domestic violence or assault. No one has sought
testimony from any victim’s advocate in these proceedings. The Colorado documents also do
not contain Plaintiff's communications to any victim’s advocate. Menninger Decl., Ex. H.
Plaintiff also cites Colorado Rev. Stat. § 19-1-301 and 302 for the proposition that the
identities of her children cannot be disclosed. Those provisions maintain the confidentiality of
records pertaining to juvenile justice actions against children. The documents at issue do not
relate to any such action; the children were witnesses to an alleged crime committed by
Plaintiff's husband against her, not the subjects of any criminal action themselves.
Cc. All Documents Were Redacted Appropriately By the Law Enforcement
Agencies
The police reports from Florida that pertain to juveniles who are alleged victims of
criminal sexual conduct (as opposed to Plaintiff's own criminal conduct as an adult and her
request for civil assist as an adult) were redacted consistent with Florida law. Indeed, both
reports wherein she made allegations of sexual misconduct were provided along with a checklist
demonstrating that the law enforcement agency redacted the reports consistent with Florida law.
The Florida law protects the identity of the alleged victim and the police reports produced by
Defendant were all identity-redacted. See Menninger Decl., Ex. C and B (GM00755 and 00784).
‘A victim’s advocate shall not be examined as to any communication made to such victim’s advocate by a victim
of domestic violence...or a victim of sexual assault, in person or through the media of written records or reports
without the consent of the victim.” C.R.S. § 13-90-107(k)(1).
