Man Who Is Allegedly HIV Positive Faces Child Sex Trafficking Charges

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - An Aurora man who is allegedly HIV positive is accused in a child sex trafficking case.

Police say Sean Travis Crumpler, 48, let a dozen boys and men live with him in exchange for sex and food. They ranged in age from 16 to 21 years old.

Two of the men who lived in the home told investigators Crumpler is HIV positive.

According to the arrest affidavit, the FBI received an email the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) stating that the NCMEC had received "information that (name redacted) who had previously been reported as a missing child was posting videos of himself on Instagram that depicted that child using drugs, and engaging in pornography."

Crumpler is a registered sex offender. He faces numerous charges of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
