A Kansas man wanted for child sex crimes was taken into custody less than an hour after law enforcement posted about him on Facebook.
Around 2 p.m. Thursday, the Harvey County Sheriff’s Office posted on their Facebook page, seeking information on the whereabouts of 47-year-old Sean Paul Sutton.
Sutton is wanted for two counts each of rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child. The sheriff’s office said Sutton was believed to be in the Newton area.

Not long after their post, a man said he had called the sheriff’s office about Sutton’s location. The sheriff’s office replied about 15 minutes later, saying Sutton had been captured.
The Harvey County Sheriff’s Office said the following about Sutton’s capture:
“Thanks to 1 tip received, we have successfully taken Sean Sutton into custody on his $100,000 warrant for Rape x2, Aggravated Criminal Sodomy x2, and Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child x2. Sutton was taken into custody within 55 minutes after posting our original wanted poster here on our Facebook page.
This kind of success would not be possible without citizens like YOU, right here in Harvey County! Good work!”
The exact location where Sutton was apprehended was not released.
Kansas Department of Corrections records show Sutton spent time on Community Corrections for a drug possession conviction from 2009.
