Sexual assault controversy

On November 22, 2019, the Fairview High School football team's star quarterback and three star Northwestern recruit, Aidan Atkinson, was arrested on three counts of sexual assault, five counts of unlawful sexual misconduct, and one count of attempted sexual assault after he turned himself in to police. The case was reported on by the USA Today, the Denver Post, and the Boulder Daily Camera, among other publications. In 2021, he was found not guilty on most charges and later plead guilty to two lesser charges of misdemeanor harassment. As a result of the school's handling of the incident, the principal was placed on leave and later retired as a Title IX investigation was initiated.
