Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. James Brian Disher, Respondent

February 16, 2010224 P.3d 254

Summary

The court held that a sexual relationship is not required to establish an intimate relationship under Colorado's domestic-violence statute. An exclusive dating relationship may suffice, and courts may consider the relationship's duration, nature, and frequency of interaction. The court reversed the district court and remanded for proceedings consistent with that holding.
