A registered sex offender is running for city council in Aurora as a
Democrat.
Abel Laeke, 39, is vying for one of two open at-large seats and has
been fighting to get his name off the sex offender list. That charge
dates back to 2004 but he had an extensive criminal background prior
to that.
On Nov. 7, 2017, Aurora residents will elect two new city council
members. Laeke is on the city’s approved list of 8 candidates.
As a first generation Ethiopian American, Laeke grew up in Aurora
and graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder. He runs
his own start-up business consulting firm, serves as a non-profit
organization mentor and teaches Sunday school at his Aurora church.
The CBI website shows a 2005 conviction of a sexual contact charge,
a class 5 felony. he was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
He was charged for indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, and sexual
contact without consent, a felony, according to court documents.
Prior to that Laeke had three other notable run-ins with the law to
include felony burglary, DUI, trespassing, assault, and damaging
property.
Mike Hyman, Attorney for the City of Aurora told the Aurora Sentinel
that since Laeke’s plea was accepted and is not a conviction, he is
in the clear to run for council.
