A man wanted for sexual assault on a child in Colorado Springs, Colorado, may have had sexual contact with underage girls in at least six states, including Arizona and was located and arrested in Flagstaff on May 11, according to a Colorado Springs Police press release.
Police had been investigating Anthony Martinez, 26, since November 2014, they said, after developing information that he had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl.

They got an arrest warrant for Martinez in May, and worked with Homeland Security and the DPS to take him into custody without incident. He’s currently in the Coconino County jail.
Further investigations led police to believe he had illegal physical contact with underage girls in other states: Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, New York, and California.
“To date, detectives have determined that Mr. Martinez may have had varying degrees of contact with more than 140 underage girls…between 2011 and 2014,” the release said.
Detectives determined that Martinez made contact with the girls on social media websites, and, at times, made plans to meet them in person. He may have asked the girls to exchange photos with him.
Colorado Springs Police are trying to find other girls he may have contacted in person, anyone who received photos from him, or sent them their photos. If you or someone you know has, call the CSPD at 719-444-7000.
