Air Force cadet avoids prison with plea deal in Boulder rape case
BY MITCHELL BYARS
An Air Force cadet accused of sexually assaulting a woman on Boulder’s University Hill last year will avoid prison after taking an “11th hour” plea deal Tuesday, three weeks before he was scheduled to stand trial.
Jack Warmolts, 22, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and unlawful sexual contact in Boulder District Court.
His victim, in letter read aloud in court, took no position on the agreement, but said she felt “small and silenced by the plea bargain process.”
Warmolts is due to be sentenced Jan. 31, but as part of the agreement, attorneys stipulated he will spend one year in the Boulder County Jail followed by 10 years of sex-offender intensive supervised probation.
