On Monday, July 25, 2016, the Sheriff's Office responded to a call regarding a possible sexual assault on a child involving a coach from a business in the Fountain area.   The offense allegedly occurred on multiple occasions at several different locations. The information surrounding the allegation of inappropriate contact between a coach and 15 year old was initially provided to the deputy, who in turn involved detectives from our Investigations Division, Special Victims Unit.
 
On Tuesday, July 26, 2016, following a thorough investigation, 37 year old Lee Michael Thompson was arrested and booked into the Criminal Justice Center for Sexual Assault on a Child by one in a Position of Trust, a class 3 felony and is being held without bond.  His mug shot is attached to this Media Release.
 
Due to the age of the victim and nature of the offense, no additional information will be released.

We believe there may additional victims.  If anyone's children have had contact with Thompson and feel like a crime or assault may have occurred, please contact Detective Jennifer Vanderpool at 719-520-7231.
