Academy director arrested for assault

January 10, 2007
By Debbie Bell

The director of the Royal Gorge Academy is under investigation of charges of third-degree assault, false imprisonment and reckless endangerment. Randall Hinton of Cañon City, 32, was arrested by the Cañon City Police Department on Tuesday. He was released on $2,500 bail.

Information is still vague, but CCPD Capt. Jim Cox said this morning Hinton is facing allegations from at least four underage students at the school. Three of them are male and at least one is female.

“We are still investigating at this point,” Cox said. “I know the information is fairly broad, but we are not releasing further information at this time.”

Hinton is the director of the school, which opened as Royal Peak Academy in February 2006 but recently changed its name.

The school is a coed private boarding school located at 615 Pike Ave. in the former St. Scholastica Academy. It serves students 14 through 18 in a year-round setting intended to give students a strong moral and academic background.

The parent company for Royal Gorge Academy is Octwell LLC of Utah.

No further information on the charges was available at press time today.
