DENVER (KDVR) -- Safe2Tell reports last month led to a school staff member's arrest for alleged sexual misconduct, according to the Colorado Attorney General's Office.

Safe2Tell is a violence intervention program that allows students in Colorado to report safety concerns anonymously.

The AG's Office released its monthly Safe2Tell summary for May on Tuesday. It said concerns involving a staff member who allegedly "made inappropriate remarks to students and was having sexual relations with them" sparked an investigation. The staff member was placed on leave while the district conducted an internal investigation, which led to the arrest.

A spokesperson for the AG's office told FOX31 that it could not release any other information about the arrest, including in which district the alleged incident occurred, due to the anonymity of Safe2Tell reports.

“Safe2Tell helps ensure that concerns don’t go unheard,” said Attorney General Phil Weiser. “By providing a confidential way to speak up, we are fostering safer schools and empowering students and community members to take action when something feels wrong.”

School officials were alerted that a student was selling vape devices to other students via a Safe2Tell report. The AG's office said that it was confirmed after an investigation and search of the student's belongings, and the school notified their parents and took disciplinary action.
