Colorado Police Officer Who Forced Handcuffed Woman He Was Taking Home From Hospital Into Sex Gets 90 Days in Jail
BY SHANE CROUCHER
A Colorado police officer who forced a handcuffed woman he was supposed to be taking home from the hospital to have sex with him was sentenced to just 90 days in jail followed by four years on probation after admitting the sexual assault. His victim was left with PTSD.
Curtis Lee Arganbright, 41, stopped his Westminster police patrol car during the ride home, ordered the woman out of the vehicle, and forced her to have sex on the front while she was still cuffed, 9News reported, citing an affidavit.
He then made her perform oral sex on him before driving her home, warning her "she better not tell anyone about this," and handed her his business card telling his victim to "call me sometime," the affidavit said about the incident, which took place on August 24, 2017.
The 36-year-old woman had admitted herself to the St. Anthony North Health Campus Hospital in Westminster for alcoholism. Police were called when hospital staff accused her of attempting to steal items from the emergency room.
Arganbright was dispatched but the hospital agreed not to press charges if he took her home. It was on that journey that Arganbright sexually assaulted the woman in the early hours of the morning.
She returned the hospital the following day saying she had been sexually assaulted. Officers from Broomfield Police were called to the hospital to bring a rape kit.
Arganbright was arrested and, while he was suspended without pay, resigned from Westminster Police Department.
He pleaded guilty to counts of unlawful sexual contact and official misconduct, both misdemeanors. As part of his sentence Arganbright must also register as a sex offender and enter a treatment program, The Denver Post reported.

Stillwater, Okla Man Being Sought On
Child Sexual Abuse Charges
By: Patti Weaver, KUSH(Stillwater, Okla.) — Authorities are searching for a Stillwater man accused of providing enough alcohol to get a 13-year-old female relative intoxicated and sexually abusing her at his residence in the 3900 block of W. Westbrook Drive on three occasions.
An arrest warrant was issued on June 3 for Charles Scott Cartwright, 35, but he was not in the Payne County Jail this afternoon, a sheriff’s spokesman told KUSH.
The girl said “it happens only on holidays and when she is allowed to consume alcoholic beverages,” Stillwater Police Officer Shawn Millermon alleged in an affidavit.
When Cartwright was interviewed after a search warrant was served at his residence, he denied the allegations and called the girl a liar, the affidavit alleged.
The Stillwater officer had been sent on May 24 to the Stillwater Medical Center emergency room to assist in investigating the sexual assault of a minor female, his affidavit said.
When the girl was interviewed the next morning at the Saville Center, “she disclosed that on May 22, 2020, she had been drinking with Scott Cartwright in his garage when he took her to the backyard of his home,” and sexually assaulted her, the affidavit alleged.
The girl “stated this was not the first time Scott had sexually assaulted her. (She) disclosed that on March 17, 2020, and on Dec. 23, 2019, Scott sexually assaulted her,” the affidavit alleged.
“During the incident on March 17, 2020, (the girl) stated she again was allowed to drink in the garage with Scott. (She) stated Scott carried her to the sun room,” where she was assaulted, the affidavit alleged.
“During the incident on Dec. 23, (the girl) stated she and Scott had been drinking in the garage. (She) stated she remembered waking up to Scott being on top of her and she was naked,” the affidavit alleged.
If convicted of three counts of child sexual abuse by lewd molestation and/or sexual intercourse with the girl, Cartwright could be given as much as three life prison terms.
Cortland, NY, PD hunt man convicted
in child porn case
BY SARAH BULLOCKCORTLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT
Six months after a Cortland man convicted of possessing child pornography skipped sentencing, city police are looking for new tips about his whereabouts.
The Cortland Police Department posted a wanted poster of Michael Earl Marks Friday on its Facebook page in the hopes of generating new leads, said Lt. David Guerrera on Monday.
Marks confessed in a signed statement to Sgt. Dan Edwards almost two years ago, on June 27, 2018, that he downloaded 80 to 90 images of child pornography onto his cell phone, according to the court papers. The State Police Computer Crimes Unit discovered 180 images on his phone, the papers note. A Cortland County Grand Jury indicted Marks on 11 counts of felony possessing a sexual performance by a child on May 10, 2019 and was scheduled to face trial Oct. 29, 2019, the papers show. After Judge Julie Campbell denied pretrial motions to dismiss the indictment and suppress the cell phone evidence, Marks pled guilty in October to one felony count as part of a plea deal for a sentence of one to three in state prison, according to court documents.
But Marks never arrived for his sentencing in January.
Despite being present in the Courthouse for his Jan. 2 sentencing, Marks left against the advice of his public defender and left, Campbell stated for the court record in January. After he failed to appear again a week later, Campbell issued a warrant for Marks.
Marks was still a fugitive as of Tuesday afternoon, said Lt. Michael Strangeway in a phone interview.
Police have received tips that he is staying with family in Whitney Point and have forwarded the information to the Broome County Sheriff’s Office, said Guerrera on Monday. Marks also has family in New York City that he may run to, he added.
“I imagine we’ll run across him at some point,” Guerrera said, urging anyone with information to contact the Cortland Police Department at 607-753-3001.
Now that sounds like a man who is enthusiastic to get justice for Mark's victims and safeguard other children! Good grief!
In addition to the child pornography charges, Marks is also wanted for felony burglary of a dwelling and misdemeanor obstructing governmental administration, as well as criminal impersonation, endangering and harassment.
Information regarding those additional charges and Marks’ bail status before he fled were not available this afternoon. However, the charges do not stem from additional crimes prosecuted in Cortland County Court, according to court documents.
The maximum sentence for one count of possessing a sexual performance by a child is four years, according to the state penal law.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has received 65 million reports of child pornography, or child sex abuse material, since 1998. The center has also reviewed 312 million images and helped police identify 18,900 children being sexually assaulted in the pornography, according to its website.
“It’s important to remember CSAM consists of much more than just images and video files,” the website cautions. “While CSAM is seen and transmitted on computers and through other technology, these images and videos depict actual crimes being committed against children.”
