(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is seeking additional information about possible victims after the recent arrest of a suspect accused of sexual assault on a child that happened near downtown Colorado Springs.

CSPD said on Thursday, May 16 at around 5:30 p.m. officers were called to a report of a sexual assault on a child in the 300 block of North Tejon Street between East Boulder Street and East Platte Avenue. According to police, the suspect identified as 24-year-old Deangelo Terry, allegedly approached a minor from behind and made “inappropriate contact” before he left the area.
