Denver real estate agent has history of accusing ex-boyfriends of assault
Fort Collins woman stabs blind boyfriend
Abstracted from story by David Migoya , The Denver Post
January 20, 2012 — Claiming he was just the latest in a string of "sugar daddies" lured by a woman later bent on revenge, Jeffrey Campos, former president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver, says he wants a jury to see that his accuser files empty charges against boyfriends when her relationships go sour.
Campos, 55, also says a police surveillance camera on a light pole shows him walking away from his accuser, real estate broker Jennifer Reins, and not attacking her.
Campos resigned his chamber post in July after his arrest on felony kidnapping charges. Ms. Reins was a member of the chamber and the two had an affair that Campos said he tried to end.
He was eventually charged with misdemeanor assault and was in Denver County Court on Thursday trying to prove Ms. Reins has a pattern of accusing boyfriends of crimes when they try to break up with her.
Campos asked Judge Doris Burd on Thursday to allow three of Jennifer Reins' ex-boyfriends to testify. Campos' lawyer, Gary Lozow, said the ex-boyfriends would say Ms. Reins accused each of attacking her after they tried to end their relationships and refused to help support her. In every case Ms. Reins later recanted the accusations.
Lozow's request to present evidence showing a pattern of behavior that discredits his defendant's accuser is unusual. Typically, prosecutors use the tactic to show a defendant has a propensity for a crime.
Lozow painted a picture of a woman "scheming to use the system to her best advantage."
"She's put people in jail before, accused them of wrongdoing to get them back to the fold," Lozow said. "It's her efforts to find not only a sugar daddy, but at least a pocket with money."

— A Fort Collins woman has been arrested after stabbing her blind boyfriend.
Larimer County sheriff's deputies were called to Motel 9 at 3634 East Mulberry Street in Fort Collins Thursday at 3:23 PM on the report that a 43-year-old blind Fort Collins man had been cut.
"Upon arrival the male was bleeding profusely and was immediately transported to Medical Center of the Rockies with non-life threatening injuries. His condition is unknown." Police said the man had been involved in an argument with his girlfriend when the alleged stabbing occurred.
Kayla Dawn Mondragon, 18, was arrested. She's being held at the Larimer County Jail on $7,500 bond.
