An 81-year-old man, identified as David Chambers, has been arrested in connection with the sexual assault of a child. David is the husband of a licensed home daycare provider and had previously assisted with daycare operations.
The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has formally charged Chambers with sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust – pattern of abuse.
The reported incidents are alleged to have occurred throughout 2025 while Chambers was providing daycare services from his residence in the 4200 block of East 114th Avenue. The daycare, known as Vickey’s Daycare, had been in business for more than 40 years, including at two previous locations in Thornton before moving to East 114th Avenue. It is now closed.
Detectives believe there may be additional victims and are asking anyone with information to contact the Thornton Police Department tip line at 720-977-5069.
Chambers was booked into the Adams County Jail following his arrest and has since been released on bond. Under Colorado law, the arrest and filing of criminal charges are merely formal accusations that an individual committed a crime. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
