An undercover investigation ended with the arrests of two Army staff sergeants assigned to Fort Carson, Colorado, as well as six other men, who are accused of seeking to pay to have sex with children, according Colorado Spring police officers.
Staff Sgt. Ning Wang, 45, and Staff Sgt. Kirtis Davis, 23, were both arrested during an Oct. 23-24 joint law enforcement operation, according to police. The late October arrests were announced by police Nov. 5.
“In addition to ‘Soliciting for Child Prostitution’ (a class three felony), the District Attorney also added on the charge of ‘Criminal Attempt – Sexual Assault on a Child’ (that is a class five felony) for the eight individuals arrested, including Davis and Wang,” Colorado Springs police spokesperson Natashia Kerr said in an email.
Wang and Davis were initially transported and booked into the El Paso County Jail, but have since been returned to their units where they are confined and being monitored, a Fort Carson official told Army Times.
Attorneys for Wang and Davis were not available for comment and the accused soldiers could not be reached either.
Both men are assigned to the 4th Infantry Division. Wang is an automated logistical specialist with 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and Davis is an infantryman with 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team.
