Man Accused Of Providing Home In Exchange For Sex With Boys Appears In Court
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4) - A man from Aurora accused of coercing young men to live with him in exchange for sex and food appeared in court on Tuesday.
Sean Travis Crumpler's arrest affidavit and the testimony during Tuesday hearing were very graphic in nature. The FBI says the defendant was trafficking children for sexual servitude by luring them to his home and acting as a provider for their needs in exchange for that sex.
Police say Crumpler would lure young men from California to Colorado to live in his large Aurora home that he rented. Victims testified that some of them were tasked with looking for new boys on an app called Grinder. Crumpler would then pick them up in California and drive them to Colorado.
The expectation was that the boys, many of them underage, would have sex with Crumpler whenever the defendant wanted in exchange for them living in his home, being clothed, fed, provided alcohol, phones and living needs.
Sex was expected from the 10 to 15 boys who lived in Crumper's house, according to the arrest affidavit.
The arrest affidavit also states that Crumpler is HIV positive and that protection was not used during the rampant sexual activity going on inside his home.
Detectives also testified that Crumpler liked his name "Sean" to be tattooed on the victims' bodies.
