Kentucky Man Arrested at Rock Bridge State Park for Child Sex Crimes

A Kentucky man has been jailed in Boone County and is accused of trying to pay a child for sex.

35-year-old Colton Cranford of Bowling Green, Kentucky is charged with Patronizing Prostitution under 18 years of age.

A Missouri State park ranger made the original report to authorities on Saturday at Rock Bridge State Park, when two juvenile girls reportedly told them that Cranford had sexually abused them inside his camper and asked them to bring more underage girls, saying he would pay up to $2,000.

Cranford was arrested later that morning and is being held in the Boone County Jail without bond.
