A Denver District Court judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by former school board member Auon’tai Anderson against a parent who made unsubstantiated sexual assault claims against him.
Denver Public School Board Vice President Auon’tai Anderson holds a press conference on July 21, 2023 in the lobby of DPS headquarters in downtown Denver, Colorado. A Denver District Court judge has dismissed the remaining claims in a defamation lawsuit filed by former school board member Auon’tai Anderson against people who made unsubstantiated sexual assault claims against him.
Anderson had been accused in an April 2021 post on Black Lives Matter 5280’s Instagram account of sexually assaulting a woman. The school board hired an independent firm to investigate the claim against Anderson. Once the investigation ended, Anderson filed a defamation lawsuit against BLM5280 and four of its members individually as well as Brooks Fleming and Jeeva Sinthilnathan, a Parker activist who made allegations against Anderson on her Facebook page.that a portion of Anderson’s claims against Brooks Fleming and all of his claims against Sinthilnathan could be considered in district court.
On Tuesday, Anderson, who did not run for re-election, told The Denver Post that he was relieved the court cases were over. Anderson also said he still owes BLM5280 money after he was ordered by the courts to pay its attorney’s fees incurred in the lawsuits and his lawyer continues to negotiate that amount.
