Stephanie Butzer joined the Denver7 team as a digital producer in June 2018, became the senior digital producer in February 2023 and as of December 2023, is the team's executive producer.
DENVER — A man posing as a rideshare driver was convicted of 30 charges Thursday related to kidnapping, sexual assault and attempted sexual assault of 12 women around Denver. The charges stem from incidents ranging from 2018 to 2022, where John Pastor-Mendoza , now 43, pretended to be a rideshare driver, picked up women using an app and then either sexually assaulted them in the car or at another location.
There was evidence the assaults were violent, as the victims reported bruises, abrasions, pain and, in some cases, signs of strangulation, the affidavit reads. A sergeant with the Denver Police Department Sex Crimes Unit noted similarities between the cases and assigned a detective to investigate. That detective contacted Tracks Denver nightclub and an employee said they knew of a man who regularly visited and matched the suspect's description.
