A Denver man has been charged with sexual assault after a Longmont woman he met on a dating app said he raped her.
Bryan Burkhalter, 30, was charged Tuesday with two counts of sexual assault, according to court records.
He was released on a $20,000 personal recognition bond and is set for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 16
According to an arrest affidavit, a woman called Longmont police and said she had been sexually assaulted on July 10.
The woman said she had met Burkhalter through the dating app Tinder, and that she had been messaging for a few weeks before she invited him to hang out in Longmont.
She said they spent the day hanging out before Burkhalter asked if they could go back to her place. The woman agreed, but said she was not sure if she wanted to have sex with Burkhalter and that if she did he would have to use protection.
The woman told the police that back at her place, Burkhalter carried her to the bedroom, and she gave him a condom to wear. But Burkhalter refused to wear the condom, and then sexually assaulted the woman even as she told him to stop and tried to get away from him.
The woman told Burkhalter to leave, but he insisted on staying and taking a nap because he had been drinking, and the woman said she locked herself in the bathroom until he eventually left.
According to the affidavit, Burkhalter later texted the woman memes referencing anal sex.
The woman was taken to the hospital for a sex assault examination.
Police were able to eventually identify Burkhalter using information from Tinder, and spoke to Burkhalter and his attorney on the phone in August. During that phone conversation, Burkhalter said the sex was consensual.
Burkhalter admitted the woman wanted him to wear a condom and that he refused to do so, but he said she was OK with that, according to the affidavit.
When confronted with statements by the woman, Burkhalter’s attorney called the situation a “gray area.”
According to the affidavit, Burkhalter had prior arrests in Texas for drinking and driving and a harassment case in Loveland.
