Air Force cadet set for trial in Boulder sex assault case

A cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy accused of raping a fellow cadet while the two were visiting Boulder last year is set for trial in October after entering a plea of not guilty Friday, according to the Daily Camera.

Daniel Ryerson, 21, has been charged with sexual assault on a helpless victim and sexual assault on a victim incapable of appraising her condition. He is also facing one count of second-degree felony kidnapping.

A trial has been set for Oct. 19, while a motions hearing scheduled for Sept. 3.

Both of the sexual assault charges fall under Colorado’s indeterminate sentencing statutes, which means Ryerson could face life in prison if convicted.
