COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Police Department is searching for additional victims in a sexual assault of a child case that the department is investigating.

CSPD said the department began an investigation into Enrique "Rico" Houghton, 35, after it was reported that he allegedly sexually assaulted two male children for whom he was the foster parent.
