In a recent child protective order hearing held on February 2, 2024, serious allegations emerged against Glenn Conger, the stepfather of two minor children, following their removal from the home of their mother, Cassandra Conger. The children, Alyssa, 16, and James, 14, were taken into custody by Colorado Child Protective Services (CPS) in November and December 2023 due to allegations of inappropriate behavior involving Glenn.

Testimonies presented during the hearing revealed troubling accounts from family members regarding Glenn's interactions with Alyssa. Cassandra's sister, Melinda Dennison, testified that Alyssa disclosed an incident where she woke up to find Glenn's hand on her vagina while they were cuddling under a blanket. This disclosure prompted Melinda to report the situation to CPS after Cassandra allegedly took no action.

Nicolette Hendrickson, the children's cousin, also provided testimony about her discomfort while living in Glenn and Cassandra's home. She described witnessing Glenn and Alyssa cuddling on multiple occasions and noted instances of inappropriate behavior, including Glenn attempting to remove her bra and spanking Alyssa in a manner she found unsettling. Additionally, she testified to observing the children consuming alcohol at family gatherings, with Glenn present and not intervening.

Uncle Daniel Payne corroborated the allegations, stating he witnessed Glenn fondling Alyssa inappropriately during a family event. Alyssa herself testified about a specific incident where she and Glenn were watching YouTube, and she awoke to him apologizing for having his hand on her vagina, which she claimed was over her clothes and a blanket.

After reviewing the evidence, Judge Evershed issued a child protective order against Glenn Conger, which is set to expire on July 4, 2024. However, no protective order was placed against Cassandra Conger. The children were temporarily placed with their aunt Melinda before being transferred to their father, Philip Potter, following their removal from the home.

The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding child safety and the responsibilities of guardians in protecting minors from potential harm. The court's decision reflects the seriousness of the allegations and the need for continued oversight in the family's circumstances.
