Man accused of sexually assaulting woman in Longmont sentenced to three years probation – Longmont Times-Call

A man accused of a sexual assault with a weapon in Longmont in August 2023 was sentenced Monday to three years of probation.

Joseph Donald Brown, 52, was originally charged with sexual assault with a weapon, three counts of third-degree assault – intentional or intentional bodily harm, felony threatening a real or simulated weapon, menacing bodily harm and two counts of child abuse – intentional or intentional inflicting no injury , two counts of attempted second-degree assault on a peace officer and first-degree trespassing – inhabited dwelling.

After initially pleading not guilty on Feb. 6, he pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and first-degree trespassing on July 22, according to court records. After the plea was entered, the remaining charges were dismissed.

He was also sentenced to 447 days in prison, according to court records.

According to an affidavit, on Aug. 24, 2023, officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of Arezzo Drive, near Pike and Airport streets, after a woman called police and said Brown had threatened to kill her and was going to do so two residents of the apartment are not allowed to leave.

Due to the nature of the report, the SWAT agency was called and set up a perimeter around the residence before notifying Brown.

The two occupants were able to leave as Brown lay unconscious on the floor, the affidavit said. The woman told police she smelled alcohol on Brown's breath earlier and took his keys so he wouldn't drive.

A woman also told officers that Brown had sexually assaulted her a week earlier.

At the time of his arrest, Brown had three warrants for driving under the influence and was listed as one of Longmont's “most wanted.”
