Denver police have initiated a sexual assault investigation focused on Transportation Security Administration officers at a checkpoint at Denver International Airport. It comes after a Colorado woman filed a complaint saying the frisking she received amounted to a sexual assault.
Its an open and active investigation, Denver police spokesperson Sonny Jackson said. We take all complaints seriously and we are on this case as well. We have launched an investigation into it.
The criminal probe stems from a complaint filed by Jamelyn Steenhoek, 39, who was patted down by TSA agents on Dec. 26 as she was escorting her 13-year-old daughter to a flight bound for Philadelphia. Steenhoek was not flying, just getting her daughter to the gate.
I feel like someone who works for a powerful agency that we are afraid of used their power to violate me sexually to put me in my place, said Steenhoek, a working mother for a county social services department. Steenhoke is also a full time college student.
