A Colorado judge ordered a disgraced social worker to pay $3 million in damages to an Aurora city councilwoman in a defamation case based on a false child abuse report leveled against the city leader. "This award is made, in part, 'to send a message that this kind of conduct cannot and should not be tolerated by anybody,'" Arapahoe County Judge Elizabeth Beebe Volz wrote in her order, which was obtained by Fox News Digital. Former Arapahoe County social worker Robin Niceta was arrested in May of last year and charged with a felony count of suspicion of attempting to influence a public servant and a misdemeanor count of making a false report about child abuse.
