## Resource

Carlos Echeandia, owner of Colorado Springs’ Carlos’ Bistro, faces trial for sexual assault after a waitress trainee alleges he attacked her during an alcohol-sampling training session. The prosecution presents her testimony, while the defense argues the encounter was consensual, citing her later doubts and possible shame. A key twist: a recorded apology from Echeandia contradicts his later police claim that he was “playing guilty” and that the trainee initiated the contact. With closing arguments looming, the jury must decide between conflicting accounts — and whether consent was truly given.
