Greeley man pleads guilty to kidnapping in connection with 1984 rape case

Inocencio Trevino pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree kidnapping in connection with a sexual assault he committed 33 years ago.

A little more than 33 years after a Greeley man raped a 19-year-old woman in an alleyway off 8th Avenue, his family wept as he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs.

Inocencio Trevino, 49, on Monday pleaded guilty to second-degree kidnapping in connection with the July 31, 1984, rape of Cheryl Webster, who gave The Tribune permission to publish her name. He faces up to 16 years in prison.

He and Rusty Barnhart, 57, were charged with kidnapping in connection with the crime. Barnhart in July was sentenced to 24 years in prison after a jury convicted him.

Police collected a rape kit from Webster within hours of the assault, which occurred in the 1600 block of 8th Avenue as she made her way home from work at a diner. They stored that kit for almost 30 years but made little progress on the case.

In 2013, Colorado state legislators passed a law requiring police departments to send all stored rape kits to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for DNA testing. The 1984 kit was among them, and testing showed Trevino and Barnhart were matches.

By then, the statute of limitations on sexual assault had expired, meaning the Weld District Attorney’s Office could not charge the men with rape even though police believed they were guilty of that crime. Instead, the two men were charged with kidnapping.

Canadian striker Nichelle Prince enjoying a rollercoaster season

Nichelle Prince has had a tremendous year.

The Canadian women’s team forward won an Olympic bronze medal in Rio last summer, she wrapped up a prolific college career at Ohio State, and then she was drafted 28th overall by the Houston Dash of the National Women’s Soccer League.

After logging minutes as a substitute to start the 2017 NWSL season, the 22-year-old from Ajax, Ontario is now putting in work as a starter alongside American Carli Lloyd, Andressa of Brazil and fellow Canadian Janine Beckie.

Sportsnet recently had a chance to chat with the striker to hear more about her rookie NWSL campaign and how she’s adjusting to life in the Lone Star State.

You were a big part of the Buckeye attack during your time at Ohio State. How have you found the jump from college soccer into the pro game?
It was a quick turnaround from college into professional, but I think what’s helped a lot is that I’ve had experience on the international level with the Canadian national team. That’s helped with the professionalism, playing with top players. Day in and day out, the difference is you’re playing with and against some of the best players in the whole world and it helps raise my standards. It helps me set higher goals for myself. It’s good.

Have you had to make any adjustments to your game now that you are teammates with some of the world’s best, such as Carli Lloyd?
Playing with someone like Carli Lloyd, who has been the FIFA World Player of the Year, it can be uncomfortable at times because she challenges me and she expects a lot from me. But, it’s also a good feeling because I know I’m getting better and players like her expect a lot from the players they’re playing with. They expect you to come in and give it your all every training session, every game. They’re very supportive and I know they’ve got my back while trying to help me succeed. She’s been great for me and it challenges me. I know I’m getting better playing along someone like her.

How about Janine Beckie? How did she help you get settled in Houston?
It was great being drafted to a team where I knew someone like Janine, whom I’ve known since I was with the U-20 Canadian team. She’s a quality player who had a good …read more
