Tay Anderson

[3] Anderson was not charged as the original claims made against him were found to be unsubstantiated and the individual that was responsible for these allegations was deemed not be credible per investigators.

[4] The following January, Anderson helped pass a mandate requiring all Denver Public Schools to designate a gender-neutral bathroom, saying it would support the LGBT community.

[9][13] On June 12, 2023, Anderson announced he was abandoning his Denver school board re-election campaign and would instead seek the 8th district seat in the 2024 Colorado House of Representatives election.

The woman's name was not revealed in the statement, but she requested a public apology from Anderson and asked that he "seek help from a licensed professional with relevant expertise."

"[16] After it released its initial statement, BLM5280 said "multiple" additional alleged victims had approached the organization to report that Anderson sexually assaulted them too.

[17] Anderson again denied wrongdoing, but told Westword magazine that "although I would have never intended for anyone to feel unsafe or uncomfortable around myself or others, I deeply apologize to the women-identifying members of NAC for the impact of my actions.

Testimony before the Colorado State House Judiciary Committee on May 25 alleged the existence of a serial sexual predator within the school district, without naming Anderson specifically.

The investigation also found "behavior unbecoming of a board member" which included "online flirtations with a 16-year-old student and coercive social media posts."

In 2022, a Denver District Court judge dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that BLM 5280 "did not act with malice or reckless disregard for the truth."
