Aurora police say 41-year-old Vicente Ashly Olvera has been arrested on charges that include sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and sexual exploitation of a child. Detectives with the department’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit report the case started after a series of cyber tips, which led to a search warrant at Olvera’s Aurora home last August. Several electronic devices were seized during that search. According to police, Olvera later turned himself in on an outstanding Aurora Police Department warrant on Feb. 22 and is currently free on a $75,000 bond while the investigation remains active and ongoing.
APD outlines investigation timeline
Aurora Police Department, on a Facebook post, states that detectives received multiple cyber tips between December 2023 and January 2024 indicating that a cellphone account linked to Olvera was downloading child sexual abuse material. Investigators used that information to develop an arrest warrant. The post says detectives then executed a search warrant at Olvera’s residence in August 2025, seizing several electronic devices that were later found to contain numerous files of child sexual abuse material.
Task force partners and tip line
The Aurora Police Department notes that its Internet Crimes unit partners with Homeland Security Investigations, the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation as part of the Colorado Cyber Guardian Task Force. Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720.913.STOP (7867). Tips can be submitted anonymously, and tipsters may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, according to the department.
Charges and court status
Aurora Police Department on Facebook reports that Olvera is charged in Arapahoe District Court with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and sexual exploitation of a child. The post says he turned himself in on Feb. 22 and was released on a $75,000 bond as the case moves forward in court.
