A Denver County Court judge sentenced 53-year-old Regan Benson to 60 days in jail and two years of probation on Friday after a jury found her guilty of posting a police commander's home address during a livestream, what appears to be the first prosecution under Colorado's anti-doxing statute.
Judge Isaam Shamsid-Deen did not mince words from the bench. He told the courtroom that Benson "purposely and willfully disrespects the law" and ordered her taken into custody immediately, denying a defense request to delay jailing until the following week.
The case traces back to September 3, 2025, when Benson, a vocal police critic and self-described advocate for the homeless with roughly 24,000 YouTube followers, livestreamed outside a Denver police station. During the broadcast, she asked her followers to dig up the home address of a Denver police commander, read the address aloud once they found it, and suggested there should be a "pig roast" at his home.
One week later, Denver police obtained a warrant for her arrest. The charge: posting personal information of a protected person online, a Class 1 misdemeanor under Colorado law.
