A 25-year-old Parker man will serve 20 years to life in prison after admitting to sexually assaulting three women, two of whom he attacked while he was out on bond for an earlier sexual assault case. Javier Rodriguez-Andrade pleaded guilty to felony sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, burglary with intent to commit sexual assault, and a crime of violence causing serious bodily injury, and detectives believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.
The three women, ages 19 to 24, were attacked in 2025 at Rodriguez-Andrade's apartment and at apartments belonging to a friend of his, according to the Denver Gazette. None of the victims were romantically involved with him, and all three were highly intoxicated at the time of the assaults, the paper reported. It was the victims' willingness to report the attacks, combined with an extensive investigation, that ultimately led Rodriguez-Andrade to admit to the crimes.
Two of the three assaults happened while Rodriguez-Andrade was already free on bond for an earlier sexual assault charge, a detail that raises questions about pretrial release for people accused of violent crimes. Under Colorado law, committing a new felony or sex offense while out on bond is treated as a separate offense that requires a mandatory consecutive sentence upon conviction, according to Justia Law. State courts can also deny bail or impose stricter release conditions when someone is charged with a violent crime while already facing one, per H. Michael Steinberg Law.
Prosecutors Describe a Pattern of Targeting Helpless Victims
Deputy District Attorney Brynn Chase said Rodriguez-Andrade targeted vulnerable victims, describing his conduct as a “disturbing pattern of dominating women by exploiting them when they were helpless to escape,” according to Colorado Politics. Chase said his actions earned him “an extended stay in the Department of Corrections.” 23rd Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler said the sentence reflects the seriousness of sexual violence and the importance of victim cooperation in securing the plea.
Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said the conviction removes a dangerous predator from the streets and holds him accountable. Parker Police Chief Jim Tsurapas said his department remains committed to thorough investigations and to seeking justice for victims. The case was investigated jointly by the Parker Police Department and Douglas County Sheriff's Office detectives, and the 23rd Judicial District Attorney's Office handled the prosecution.
Why the Sentence Is Open-Ended
Rodriguez-Andrade's 20-years-to-life sentence falls under Colorado's Sex Offender Lifetime Supervision Act of 1998, which imposes indeterminate sentences on felony sex offenders — a mandatory minimum term paired with a maximum of natural life — and shifts release decisions from the sentencing court to the state parole board, according to Churchill Criminal Defense. That means Rodriguez-Andrade will not automatically walk free after 20 years; parole eligibility requires completing sex offender treatment programs while incarcerated, and any release depends on the parole board's evaluation of his rehabilitation. He is scheduled to be formally sentenced on October 30.
New Judicial District Handling a High-Stakes Case
The prosecution is one of the more serious cases handled so far by the 23rd Judicial District, which began operating on January 14, 2025, as Colorado's first new judicial district in more than 60 years, covering Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln counties under House Bill 20-1026, according to Douglas County Government. Brauchler, who was elected in November 2024 and previously served as DA for the 18th Judicial District from 2013 to 2021 — where he prosecuted the 2012 Aurora theater shooting — campaigned on a strict law-and-order mandate for the newly formed district, per the district's official website.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office does not include sexual assault, domestic violence, or child abuse cases on its public online crime mapping tool, a policy meant to protect victim confidentiality, the sheriff's office has said. In an August 2025 crime briefing, Weekly noted overall drops in local crime while pointing out that nearly 70% of serious crime arrests in Douglas County involve non-residents, according to a video posted by the sheriff's office.
Investigators Seek Potential Additional Victims
Detectives believe Rodriguez-Andrade may have assaulted more women beyond the three identified cases, and authorities are asking anyone with information — or anyone who believes they may be an additional victim — to come forward. Anyone with information can contact the Parker Police Department at 303-841-9800 or the Douglas County Sheriff's Office at 303-660-7505, according to 9News. The investigation remains active as the 23rd Judicial District DA's Office, Parker Police, and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office continue to seek information about the case.
