Colorado dentist flew to Florida to arrange sex with a mother and daughter, 8: prosecutors
A Colorado dentist is facing charges after he attempted to entice a mother and her 8-year-old daughter into having unlawful sex, federal prosecutors say.
According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, 49-year-old Dr. James Jason Atha is accused of messaging someone he believed to be a mother about sexually grooming her 8-year-old daughter. Unbeknownst to Atha, he was messaging an undercover Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Investigations agent.
In the investigation, which began in October 2023, the agent assumed an online persona in an online message app centered around “taboo” sex, family incest and child pornography, court documents say.
On Oct. 3, 2023, the undercover DHS agent allegedly received a message from Atha with a description of his sexual fantasies.

In the initial messages between the agent and Atha, the Colorado dentist allegedly admitted that he would “love to find mother daughter to play with.”
Atha continued chatting with the undercover agent, who shared how they groomed the 8-year-old with sexual toys, court records show.
“That’s a beautiful thing,” Atha said, according to court documents. “I would soooo love to be part of that!”

When asked by the undercover agent in another conversation whether he had sex with a mother and daughter duo before, Atha replied, “[U]nfortunately no,” according to court documents.
“I have had so many of what I thought were opportunities, only to get ghosted when it got down to it,” he said, per court documents.
Court documents revealed that Atha requested pictures of the mother and her 8-year-old daughter while also using sexually illicit language to describe having sex with the minor.

In later correspondence, Atha is accused of admitting that he found his “dream” with the mother and daughter duo.
“I think I pretty much found it with you,” he allegedly said. “A mom who is totally into it and has already kinda groomed her but willing to give me some say. And that mom is good-looking.”

In July, Atha told the agent that he would fly from Denver to Palm Beach International Airport in Florida.
In August, he arrived in Florida and was met by DHS agents who arrested him.
During the arrest, Atha allegedly admitted that he had flown to Florida to try to have sex with the fake woman and child.
Atha was charged with attempted enticement of a minor. On Aug. 22, he was indicted in the Southern District of Florida for attempted enticement of a minor and transportation of child pornography.
A trial date has been set for Oct. 7.
If convicted of the charged offenses, Atha faces a statutory maximum sentence of life in prison for attempted enticement of a minor and 20 years in prison for transportation of child pornography.
Atha’s attorneys did not respond to a request for comment. Fox News Digital has also reached out to Alpine Dentistry, where he works.

A shooting in San Francisco left an 8-year-old girl injured on Friday, according to her father.
The San Francisco Police Department said officers were called to the unit block of Chicago Way at approximately 5:24 p.m. for reports of a shooting. Upon the officers’ arrival, they found a young girl suffering from injuries, although police did not confirm she was shot. Police only said she was transported to a nearby hospital with “life-threatening injuries.”
Police did not provide other information.
However, according to the girl’s father, the family was setting things up for dinner when a bullet came into the house and hit his daughter.
Officers are still at the scene conducting their investigation.

Earlier this week, I dropped a survey about the youth movement this team has experienced heading into Week 1 compared to last year. In 2023, Denver entered Week 1 as the third oldest team in the NFL and today they are the 10th youngest. That is a rapid shift towards youth.
71% of fans are loving the move and 28% are neutral on it. Then we have a Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs fans filling out the last 2%.
The movement to get younger has not gone unnoticed by the local media. In fact, veteran defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers was asked about what it means for a team to be ‘young and hungry’ in the NFL. Myers actually had a really good explanation of how a young team feels different from a more veteran-heavy one.
“I think there’s a different level of physicality [and] there’s a different level of effort playing with guys who are young and hungry,” Myers explained. “What’s kind of understood is that when you first get into the league, we’re all excited. We all just want to run and hit. You see that a lot here. Guys just want to run, they want to hit and they play with extreme effort and physicality. Those are the two things [I said] in my first press conference [that] if you ask anybody about my game, that’s what they’re going to tell you I play with. So I fit right in with these guys, and [I’m] looking forward to the season.”
The seven-year veteran enjoys the kind of atmosphere this young locker room has in Denver this season and he went on to say that the hunger to win is always there with him.
“It’s been a while,” Myers said of winning. “I went to the Super Bowl my rookie year, and I’m in year seven now. The hunger is [there].”
As a rookie, Myers was with the Los Angeles Rams when they lost to the New England Patriots. He ended up with the New York Jets every year since and that franchise has been stuck in a long rut just like the Broncos have.
Hopefully that changes this season for Denver.
However, if you ask most NFL fans the optimism that Denver is heading in the right direction is about 50-50.

While that might seem like a bad number, its actually the 13th best rank out of all 32 teams. This survey was of all NFL fans, not just Broncos fans. Obviously, we’re about as close to 100% as we can be after two un-bo-lievable preseason games.
