A former gymnastics coach who owned and operated a fitness school in Centennial has been found guilty on multiple charges of child sexual assault, Arapahoe officials announced Wednesday.
Erik Oldham, 37, was arrested in May 2022 on suspicion of multiple counts of sexual assault of a child, sexual assault of a child by a person in a position of trust, unlawful sexual contact, enticement of a child and criminal attempt, according to a news release from the Arapahoe County Sheriffs’ Office.
Oldham pleaded not guilty to all nine charges, according to Arapahoe County court records.
On April 5, a jury found Oldham guilty and he returned to Arapahoe County Jail on a no-bond hold while awaiting a sentencing hearing scheduled for July 8.
