EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- El Paso County Sheriff's deputies said the former Ellicott School Board member who was originally arrested in September for "sexting" a student has been rearrested Wednesday for sexual assault on a child.

Deputies said 37-year-old Stefanie Dickinson is facing charges of sexual assault on a child, a class 3 felony and is in jail on a $25,000 bond after being arrested at her home around 1:30 p.m.

"In any type of crime you can have one victim that comes forward," Sgt. Mike Schaller with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said. "The crime is discovered, and that leads a path to past incidents and victims."

Dickinson was arrested Sept. 18 for Internet luring of a child, a class 4 felony, after allegedly texting sexually explicit messages to a 14-year-old boy.
