GREELEY, Colo. -- The mother of a slain 12-year-old Greeley girl talked again Thursday about the first time she learned her daughter was having sex with an 18-year-old who was living in the same apartment.

April Wilson testified in a pretrial motions hearing for Robert Montoya in Weld County District Court. Montoya is not charged in Kayleah Wilson's death but faces charges of sexual assault on a child and sexual assault on a child with a pattern of abuse.

April Wilson related how she first found out about possible sexual relations between her daughter and Montoya when she read a posting on the family computer. She said she immediately confronted the two of them in a family meeting that occurred between Christmas and New Year's in 2009. She said Montoya had been living with the family for more than a couple of months at that time.

I'm glad these charges have been brought against him. Hopefully some answers will come soon on what happened to Kayleah.

Defense: Kayleah family holding boyfriend accountable for death

Defense trying to throw out previous statements by Montoya

A defense attorney for the man accused of sexually assaulting Kayleah Wilson before she disappeared last spring said the Wilson family is using the sexual assault case to hold him responsible for the girl’s death.

In a third day of hearings on pre-trial motions, attorneys on Tuesday argued what evidence should be admitted in the upcoming trial of Robert Montoya, who is charged with two counts of sexual assault against Kayleah Wilson. One charge involves a pattern of abuse.

It’s a case in which prosecutors are relying heavily on a grieving family’s recollections of incidents involving Montoya and Kayleah, which have been somewhat inconsistent as the case has worn on. The family has struggled with remembering time periods of specific instances involving Montoya, who had lived at the Wilson home for a few months in 2009. April Wilson learned of the sexual contact between the then 17-year-old Montoya and her daughter, and threw him out of the house.

No matter how the defense tries to spin it, any 17-year-old who has sex with a 12-year-old should be charged.

Yep, she was a child, a pre-teen. I hope he never gets out.

In his own words: "You said I wouldn’t be in trouble for sex with a minor.”

GREELEY - A Weld County District Court judge has handed Robert Montoya a sentence of eight years to life for having a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old who was later found dead.

The indeterminate sentence is a direct result of a jury's decision to find the 19-year-old guilty of sex assault on a child on March 25. Montoya will have to complete a rigorous sex offender treatment program before he is ever eligible to be released from prison.
