The Sheriff’s Department in Larimer County, Colorado, has confirmed that it is investigating possible criminal activity alleged to have taken place at Shambhala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado.
David Moore, a spokesman for the department, told Lion’s Roar, “The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office received information involving possible criminal activity involving Shambhala Mountain Center. Investigators are currently sorting through to see where that information leads.”
This follows a report today published by ThinkProgress that says Colorado police have opened a criminal investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, leader of Shambhala International, and other members of the organization.
Author Joshua Eaton says that the investigation by the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office has been confirmed by four sources who have spoken to investigators, as well as emails that ThinkProgress has seen.
