A former Hygiene Fire captain who is awaiting a trial for sexual assault charges has been booked into jail again and is facing a new charge of sexual assault on a child.

Kamron Barnaby, 32, is facing one charge of sexual assault on a child — statutory rape. In his ongoing case, Barnaby pleaded not guilty to six counts of sexual assault — submission against the victim’s will; and four counts of unlawful sexual contact.

Recently, lawyers argued over the possibility of a plea deal, but in a hearing on Monday, prosecutors requested that the case be set for a February trial.

Barnaby is now set to appear for a motions hearing on Jan. 16 and a 14-day trial on Feb. 18.

Lawyers argued for Barnaby’s bond on Tuesday afternoon before County Judge Monica Haenselman set a $150,000 secured bond with a $15,000 cash option.

Barnaby appeared from Boulder County Jail during the bond setting on Tuesday.

“The allegations in themselves, although grave and numerous, are fairly disputed,” John Pineau, Barnaby’s lawyer, said on Tuesday.

Pineau said that a plea deal was in the works in which Barnaby would plead guilty to four lawful sexual contacts and four attempted second-degree assault charges. Pineau highlighted that Barnaby works part-time, lives at home, has no prior convictions and has been compliant with his bond over the past year and a half.

“In terms of flight risk, it would be very low,” Pineau said.

Meanwhile, Deputy District Attorney McKenna Mayfield argued differently saying, “he has every reason to flee” due to this being a second case. Mayfield then requested a $250,000 secure bond.

According to an affidavit, on Sept. 25, a Boulder County Sheriff Deputy received an email from a victim who stated they had heard about the ongoing sexual assault case against Barnaby and believed they may have been a victim.

The deputy and an investigator from the District Attorney’s Office reached out and learned that the victim was an intern at Hygiene Fire when the assault occurred. According to the affidavit, the victim was 17 years old when she was accepted for the internship with hopes of one day becoming a firefighter.

Barnaby, who was a training to be captain at the time, hired the intern and began sending her messages over Instagram before moving to Snapchat. The victim told police that Barnaby asked the 17-year-old for nude photos and sent videos of himself masturbating. Barnaby was 27 years old at the time.

The victim told police that Barnaby asked her repeatedly for sexual photos and videos and she felt very pressured. Barnaby then began asking the victim to work overnight shifts with him despite the Fire Chief telling the victim she would never work overnight. Barnaby reportedly kept telling the victim that he would try to work things out so she could work overnight.

One day, when Barnaby and the victim were alone at the station, Barnaby reportedly stood up tapped the victim on the shoulder and told her to follow him. The victim later told police that she knew what was going to happen but didn’t know how to stop it and she didn’t know what would happen if she said no to Barnaby as he was 6-foot-5-inches tall and weighed over 200 pounds.

Barnaby then walked with the victim to the back of the station where he raped her, according to the affidavit. The victim recalled that while it was happening she was wishing it would be over, felt like she did not have control over the situation and believed that if she went along with it, it would be over faster.

The victim told police she was worried about possible workplace retaliation if she didn’t go along with Barnaby’s requests. Barnaby also reportedly asked the victim for nude photos while he was getting onboarded at Mountain View Fire Rescue.

The victim told police that she ended her internship early and is no longer considering a career in firefighting due to the assault.

The victim is the fifth to come forward and accuse Barnaby of sexual assault or unlawful sexual contact in various instances from 2018 through 2021. Two of the women were subordinates under Barnaby while he was Hygiene Fire captain.

The allegations include sexual assaults that occurred while Barnaby was on duty and incidents of Barnaby sending sexually harassing messages to subordinates.

Several women reported not coming forward initially due to fear of retaliation.

According to the affidavit, there was an investigation into Barnaby having an inappropriate relationship while at Hygiene Fire, but Barnaby was allowed to resign to avoid being fired.

Barnaby had been employed with Mountain View Fire Rescue following his departure from Hygiene, but he was placed on unpaid leave when the department was notified of the allegations. Barnaby’s last day with the department was the day of his arrest, according to Mountain View Fire Rescue spokesman Rick Tillery.

Because the sex assault charges fall under Colorado’s indeterminate sentencing laws for sex offenses, Barnaby could be facing a life sentence if convicted at trial.
