GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Former cop and firefighter Eric Janusz is behind bars once again. Around 11 p.m. Friday night, Janusz was found guilty of one count of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.

In the verdict, the jury said they were convinced Janusz had sex with a 16-year-old girl in the then-Mesa Sate College gym in the summer of 2000. That year, he was serving as a Grand Junction police officer.

Judge Valerie Robison ordered that Janusz immediately be taken into custody, and she revoked his bond.
