Colorado Man, Two Women Arrested on Dozens of Child Sex Abuse Charges that Authorities Were First Told About 17 Years Ago
Decades of alleged child abuse in Colorado — and possibly in many other states — recently resulted in the arrests of three suspects. But according to court records obtained by local journalists, authorities knew about the alleged abuse for well over 15 years.
Allan Richard Long, 51, now faces 41 total counts related to the sexual abuse of children, a press release by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department indicates. According to law enforcement, he has “very specific ties” to City of Colorado Springs. Long stands accused of sexually victimizing at least seven children — including his own children — over the course of at least two decades.
Ginger Delgado, the sheriff’s office’s public information officer, added that the defendant may have committed child sexual abuse crimes in Kansas, Wyoming and Montana — and beyond those states as well — due to his years working as a long haul truck driver. Now, authorities are putting out a call for any additional victims to come forward.
Also arrested were two women. Martha “Loni” Long, 52, has been charged with four counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, one count of aggravated incest, and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. Rona Culler, 55, was charged with 10 counts of sexual assault on a child as part of a pattern of abuse, five counts of aggravated incest, and one count of sexual exploitation of a child.
