Overview
- District Court Judge Laqunya Baker sentenced 30-year-old Kiarra Jones on Wednesday to four and a half years in prison plus at least four years of probation in Arapahoe County.
- Jones pleaded guilty in January to 10 counts of third-degree assault against an at-risk person and two counts of child abuse.
- Police arrested Jones in April 2024 after on-bus camera footage showed multiple assaults, following parent reports of injuries including a fractured bone, a lost tooth, and a black eye.
- Three families later reached a $3.85 million settlement with Littleton Public Schools, while a separate case involving The Joshua School remains active.
- Littleton Public Schools now requires weekly reviews of bus video, 30-day retention of footage, and a transportation task force, and the district is under a U.S. Department of Justice investigation.
