A Denver teacher is being held on $25,000 in Castle Rock
after he allegedly offered money to watch one teenage girl
beat up another.


Douglas County authorities arrested 45-year-old Mark Asimus
at a park in Lone Tree Tuesday afternoon. That's where he'd
allegedly arranged to meet someone he thought was a
14-year-old girl he'd been chatting with online since Monday.


The 'girl' was an undercover sheriff's investigator.


Douglas County Sheriff's Lt. Alan Stanton said Asimus wanted
to watch the fight for pleasure, and that he has some kind of
"fetish or a fascination" with watching women fight.


Asimus is accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor,
criminal solicitation, and criminal attempt/second-degree assault.


Authorities declined to say how much money Asimus had
offered to watch the fight.


He had no criminal record before his arrest.
Asimus teaches at Denver West High School and keeps a blog.
In it he says, "I can't imagine why anyone does anything but
read Shakespeare."
