Colorado teen sexually assaulted and murdered 10-year-old girl whose father was dating his mother
15-year-old Aidan Zellmer entered the guilty plea after striking a deal with prosecutors and is expected to be given life in prison during his sentencing hearing next month
A Colorado teen who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl before bludgeoning her to death in 2017 was informed he would spend the rest of his life behind bars after acknowledging his guilt in the incident.
As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors had dropped the charges of sexual assault against Aidan Zellmer in the killing of Kiaya Campbell on June 7, 2017, in exchange for a guilty plea in regards to the charges of first-degree murder. Kiaya was the daughter of Zellmer's mother’s boyfriend. According to The Denver Channel, Zellmer, now 16, is scheduled to be sentenced on March 11 but was reliably informed he could expect a life sentence during the hearing next month.
