Connie Liphford

Domonique Huntington

DNA tests led to the arrests of two men in a 2008 sex assault, the Denver District Attorney's Office said today.

Domonique Huntington, 24, and Connie Liphford, 26, face charges of second-degree kidnapping, sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact.

According to prosecutors, Huntington and Liphford offered the 26-year-old woman a ride home, drove her to an isolated area and raped her.

Later, they dropped her off in her neighborhood, where she walked home.

Huntington has been arrested several times on mostly minor offenses. He pleaded guilty in a drunken driving case in Aurora in March, records show.

He has a December trial date in that case, according to court records.

Connie Liphford found guilty of rape years after he seemingly got away with it

The Connie Liphford case offers a strong counterargument to those who see the routine collection of DNA from arrestees as a potential violation of privacy.

After all, Liphford had apparently evaded responsibility for a 2008 rape, until a DNA hit three years later.

The probable cause statement on Liphford, on view below, lays out the story with squirm-inducing dispassion.

A 26-year-old woman told police that she and some friends lingered at the 9th Door bar until just about closing time, 1:30 a.m., on February 24, 2008. Afterward, she was standing outside the venue's front door when a couple of men offered her what she thought was a ride home.

Unfortunately, they made a stop first.

The men drove the woman to what's described in the PC statement as an isolated, park-like area. Then one of them climbed into the backseat with her, removed her pants, held her hands over her head so that he could lift her shirt and expose her breasts, and despite her protests, raped her.

The horror wasn't over. Once the first man was finished, he traded places with the second one, who repeated the act. This time, she didn't protest. She just wanted the assault to be over.

Once it was, they asked where she lived, and rather than providing an address, she offered an intersection, Alameda and Quebec, where they left her.

The next day, she told friends what had happened and was taken to Denver Health for a sex assault exam. And then -- nothing for three years, until, on February 25, 2011, the Combined DNA Index System, known as CODIS, registered a match with DNA collected back in 2008 with that of one Connie Lamar Liphford, who'd been busted on a completely separate matter.

Another year would pass before a jury would find Liphford guilty of sexual assault. And his alleged cohort, Domonique Huntington, will have his own day in court on May 4.

I'm glad they caught these assholes. May they experience the joy of rape every day. With names like Connie and Domonique, I'm sure they will wind up being someone's bitch.

Am I just a paranoid bitch or what? I wouldn't accept ANYTHING much less a ride from two strange men. I am not blaming her for what THEY did to her but sometimes people need to put on their thinking caps and actually THINK!

**Robynne** · April 23rd, 2012, 03:27 PM

Did anyone else think that these two were women when they read the title?

Connie and Domonique? Really? I bet their penis' are so small, their parents thought they were girls when they were born.

I remember that too when I was kid. She made it from that nightmarish ordeal. That too stayed in my head. I would never get in a car with people I don't know, male or female. I rather walk to where I am headed instead.

I'm gonna blame these guys' parents for this shit.

When you name your BOYS Connie and Dominque, they are going to have to prove their masculinity day in and day out. Eventually, it leads to rape.

GOOD JOB, PARENTS! GOOOOOOOOD JOB!

In 2008, a woman was brutally raped by two men. But the case remained unsolved for years, until a DNA hit led to the arrest of Connie Liphford for the crime. Liphford was sentenced for the crime a year ago this month.

Now, Domonique Huntington, charged with being the second perpetrator in this terrible crime, has been found guilty as well.

Get details and see photos and a probable cause statement @link

At about 1:30 a.m. on February 24, 2008, as we've reported, a 26-year-old woman told police that she was lingering out front of the 9th Door bar when a couple of men offered her what she thought was a ride home.
The men drove the woman to what's described in the aforementioned document as an isolated, park-like area. Then one of them climbed into the backseat with her, removed her pants, held her hands over her head so that he could lift her shirt and expose her breasts, and despite her protests, raped her.

The horror wasn't over. Once the first man was finished, he traded places with the second one, who repeated the act. This time, she didn't protest. She just wanted the assault to be over.

Once it was, they asked where she lived, and rather than providing an address, she offered an intersection, Alameda and Quebec, where they left her.

The next day, she told friends what had happened and was taken to Denver Health for a sex assault exam. But there was no progress in the case until February 25, 2011, when the Combined DNA Index System, known as CODIS, registered a match with DNA collected back in 2008 with that of one Connie Lamar Liphford, who'd been busted on a completely separate matter.

Another year would pass before a jury would find Liphford guilty of sexual assault. And as we reported at the time, Huntington was scheduled to have his own day in court on May 4 of last year.

Nonetheless, the slow grind of justice took until this month to finally address Huntington's alleged complicity in this crime. He has now been found guilty of sexual assault. He'll be back in court circa June and faces a sentencing range that could hardly be wider -- from probation to what's described as an indeterminate-to-life prison term.
