An Arapahoe County, Colorado, judge ordered former social worker Robin Niceta to pay Aurora Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky $3 million stemming from a defamation case.
The judge’s ruling in the civil case comes after Jurinsky filed a lawsuit against Niceta for slander, libel and outrageous conduct. Niceta failed to appear for any of the court dates in the case, pushing the judge to enter into a default judgment against Niceta.
Of the $3 million awarded to Jurinsky, $1.5 million is allotted for actual damages and the other $1.5 million for punitive damages. "In my lifetime I will not see $3 million from Robin Niceta," Jurinsky told CBS Colorado after the judge’s ruling was issued. She added that she was focused on holding"Robin accountable for her actions against me," and was not focused on the monetary award.

I hope she is sitting behind bars for all six of those years and I have nothing to garnish- nothing. I want her in a prison cell for six years," Jurinsky told CBS Colorado. "Our children are off the table. I hope to live rent-free in Robin Niceta's head for the rest of her life," Jurinsky added. Niceta, as well as the Arapahoe County Department of Human, is also facing a class action suit over allegedly"baselessly" removing children from their parents.

In that case, Niceta is accused of making sexual advances towards women she was actively investigating in her role as a social worker for the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services and trying to separate children from those women's families if her advances were spurned, according to the lawsuit. Other accusations include falsifying abuse or neglect complaints in a bid to separate children from their parents or caretakers; introducing false testimony into judicial proceedings; and introducing false and fabricated evidence into court proceedings. Fox News Digital reached out to Niceta’s attorney, but did not receive a response by time of publication.
