Boulder County, Colo. -Kamron Barnaby, a Captain with the Hygiene Fire Department, targeted young women through his work at the Fire Department and committed sexual assaults against five victims, two of whom were teenagers at the time. Each of the five victims testified at trial.

The defendant’s tactics with each victim were largely the same. The defendant used his position of power and control within the Fire Department to prey upon women. Many of the sexual assaults were committed inside the Fire Department or on the property. The defendant sent nude photos and videos of himself to each victim. Investigators recovered from his phone hundreds of photos and videos of the defendant masturbating himself.

The investigation began after the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office was notified by the Chief of Hygiene Fire of a sexual assault allegation made by a former Hygiene firefighter. Ultimately, five women, including three subordinate employees of Barnaby, came forward.

The jury found the defendant guilty of all 13 charges, which included:

• Four counts of Sexual Assault (F4)
• Two counts of Unlawful Sexual Contact (F4)
• Two counts of Sexual Assault (F3)
• Two counts of Unlawful Sexual Contact (M1)
• Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (F4)
• Sexual Assault on a Child By One in a Position of Trust (F4), and
• Sexual Exploitation of Children (F3)

Following the verdict, the defendant was remanded into custody. His sentencing is set for February 27, 2026, at 1000 am.

District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated, “The defendant preyed upon young women, using his position as a Fire Captain. These five victims demonstrated courage, strength and resilience in coming forward and going through this trial. We were honored to fight for justice for each of them. I want to thank the outstanding detectives from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and the team from the District Attorney’s Office. Also, I truly appreciate the service of the jurors, who spent part of their holiday season working through a graphic, painful case to reach the right result.”

Our office will have further comments after sentencing.
