Jesse Hodgson
There's nothing wrong with a little kinky sex between consenting adults, even if it involves, um, diapers. But people come unpinned when someone's sexual fetish spills over those boundaries and affects non-consenting adults or children. In July, Jesse "Pampers" Hodgson, a former Mountain View Fire Rescue firefighter, told a judge that he'd let his fetish for wearing diapers take over his life. Hodgson, 37, had been arrested months earlier and accused of sexually assaulting a drunken female while he was wearing an adult diaper, as well as exposing himself to a child, along with several other inappropriate diaper-related actions. He eventually pleaded guilty to felony attempted sexual assault, misdemeanor sexual contact and indecent exposure and was sentenced to eighteen months of work release and eight years of supervised probation — something that will hopefully allow him to earn his big-boy underpants.

Michael Gilliland
Michael Gilliland, the high-flying founder of Wild Oats in Boulder and the Sunflower Farmers Market chain, was grounded in February when he was arrested in Phoenix and charged with trying to hook up with an underage prostitute. According to police, the 53-year-old Gilliland offered to pay $100 to have sex with a seventeen-year-old girl he'd met online; she even asked him to bring cigarettes to the motel, saying she was only seventeen and not old enough to buy them. When he showed up, however, Gilliland discovered that the girl was an undercover cop. He resigned as CEO of Sunflower, and not just because the market — famous for its healthy-lifestyle products — doesn't carry smokes. A trial is set for January.
Lisa Norton
It doesn't get much worse than the story of Lisa Norton. In June, the 32-year-old Boulder woman went on a bender just two days after being sentenced in a previous DUI case to probation and alcohol monitoring. This time, however, things turned out much worse. Norton was driving a pickup truck on Nelson Road near Longmont when she lost control, according to police reports, and smashed into another car, killing 33-year-old Gabriel Nielsen and seriously injuring his sister and his two-year-old daughter. But the story doesn't end there. After the crash, Norton reportedly got out of her truck and jumped into the Clover Basin Reservoir, where she tried to swim away from police. Some boaters thwarted the attempt, however, pulling her out and turning her over to the cops. Norton was later charged with first-degree murder, vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and other offenses. She pleaded not guilty in December and is scheduled to face trial in May.
