Mitchel Crow, Sex Abuse of a Minor, Colorado 2022
A former Colorado Springs area man has been sentenced to 168 months of imprisonment after being found guilty of sex abuse of a minor. Mitchel Crow, 32, was responsible for the care of the minor at the time of the abuse.
According to the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado, Crow engaged in several sexual acts with a minor between May of 2020 and mid-December of 2020. The abuse occurred within a residence located on Fort Carson, an Army post near Colorado Springs.
Crow was found guilty by a federal jury on three counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He was sentenced to 168 months of imprisonment and 12 years of supervised release.
Acting United States Attorney for the District of Colorado Matt Kirsch stated, 'There is nothing more important than protecting children in our society. This long sentence reflects the seriousness of the defendant's abuse of a minor he was supposed to be protecting.'
FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Mark Michalek added, 'Child sex offenders prey on the most vulnerable victims. This sentence will not erase the harm inflicted upon the victim, but we hope it is a step towards recovery.'
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. The FBI Denver Field Office conducted the investigation, and Assistant United States Attorneys Tom Minser and Al Buchman handled the prosecution.
United States Senior District Court Judge Raymond P. Moore presided over the sentencing.
