Teacher's Aide Pleads Guilty To Sex Chat Charges

GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) ― A teacher's aide from Golden has pleaded guilty Tuesday for allegedly contacting an investigator with the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office who was posing as an underage girl online.

Frank Lee Pierce, 30, is accused of introducing inappropriate sexual content into the conversation.

The investigation which resulted in Pierce's arrest began in November when the investigator, posing as a female under the age of 15 was allegedly contacted by Pierce under screen name "mysterio2716." Pierce was arrested for suspicion of Internet Luring of a Child, Internet Sexual Exploitation of a Child, and Promotion of Obscenity to a Minor.

Pierce was a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) at Stober Elementary School in Lakewood.

Pierce will be sentenced on Aug. 8. He faces up to six years in prison.
