(PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo.) — A former detention deputy with the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) was sentenced on Thursday, Feb. 20 for a 2024 incident in which he had inappropriate contact with an inmate.
According to PCSO, 26-year-old former deputy Kiki Seto was sentenced to four years of probation and must now register as a sex offender after pleading guilty to sexual contact in a correctional institution.
The incident reportedly took place in the Pueblo County Jail and involved a 23-year-old female inmate. Seto was employed as a detention deputy at the time. He has since been fired.

Seto turned himself in on March 29, 2024 after a warrant was issued for his arrest following an investigation into the incident. Seto was originally charged with Sexual Conduct in a Correctional Institution and Introducing Contraband in the Second Degree.
“This behavior is not reflective of the integrity and character of this agency,” Pueblo County Sheriff David J. Lucero said previously of Seto’s conduct. “I take these matters seriously. The safety and well-being of those incarcerated in our jail is a high priority and any behavior that violates the trust and integrity is unacceptable.”
Seto has been out on bail awaiting his sentencing.
