him via the internet.

On December 5, 2008, the Denver Police Department arrested Balazs Toth (08/09/1972), for

Toth was a teacher at a Catholic School and taught students the same age as the victim in this
case. On June 30, 2009, Toth was sentenced to 90 days in County Jail and five years sex
offender probation which requires him to register as a sex offender. He was charged with
various internet crimes involving children, but pleaded guilty to Criminal Attempt to Commit
Sexual Assault on a Child.
