EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says they are seeking additional victims in a child sexual assault case.

On September 23, the sheriff's office says they launched an investigation into 39-year-old Brandon Duba following a report of sexual assaults involving several children.

According to the sheriff's office, Duba was arrested and charged with several sexual offenses involving children on December 18. They say he posted a $250,000 bond on December 21.

While investigating, the sheriff's office says detectives learned Duba was a bodybuilding trainer who sometimes worked with his clients at area gyms.

The sheriff's office says he taught children's martial arts and bodybuilding for more than eight years in Colorado Springs. Because of this, detectives believe there could be more victims.

If you have any information regarding this case or believe you are a victim, you are asked to call the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Tip Line at (719)520-7777.
