Welcome to the George Brauchler DA Podcast — your front-row seat to the world of true crime through the eyes of one of Colorado's most experienced prosecutors.
In this episode we'll meet Chief Deputy District Attorney Kristine Rolfes - a powerhouse prosecutor who has dedicated her career to seeking justice for the most vulnerable—children. Kristine specializes in juvenile crime and child sexual assault cases, and her commitment runs deep—so deep, in fact, that she once called co-counsel from the delivery room while in labor to check on a case.
In this gripping conversation, Kristine shares stories from some of the most heartbreaking cases she's prosecuted—from the tragic STEM School shooting, to a devastating domestic violence incident, to an unthinkable case involving a predator targeting babies and toddlers. She also discusses a disturbing trend: how the rise of online pornography is fueling a new breed of offender.
Through it all, Kristine has managed to balance her emotionally taxing work with life as a mother and wife. So what keeps her going? It's the child victims who deserve a voice, and her unwavering belief that justice is always worth the fight.
Let's get into it—meet Chief Deputy DA Kristine Rolfes.
