Ennio Daniel was convicted this week of two counts of sexual assault on an at-risk adult and a second-degree kidnapping count.

The charges alleged Daniel lured a developmentally disabled acquaintance into his car last year and sexually assaulted her.

Denver prosecutors said Friday that he was convicted in a trial in which the victim's recorded statement to a forensic interviewer was admitted as evidence. A bill passed this year allowed such evidence to be introduced.

Daniel is awaiting sentencing.
