COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is seeking more information and other potential victims tied to child sex crimes.

On Thursday, CSPD issued a news release with a photo of 64-year-old Stephen King Sr., stating he is suspected of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and sexual exploitation of a child. It isn't clear where the alleged crimes happened, but King was taken into custody on Aug. 14 by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office in Cotopaxi after CSPD received a report of the allegations on July 15.
