It is the policy of the Colorado Court of Appeals that the names of children and sexual assault victims should not be disclosed in the opinions of the Court or in briefs and pleadings filed with the Court. In order to provide timely and appropriate access to records while not disclosing protected information, children and sexual assault victims should be identified by using their initials or an appropriate general descriptive term such as "victim" or "child."
