INTERNET CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN TIP LEADS TO FELONY ARREST

GRAND COUNTY, CO- On March 18, 2026, a Detective with the Grand County Sheriff’s Office applied for and was granted an Arrest Warrant for Benjamin Winslow, a 32-year-old male from Kremmling, Colorado, for violations of Colorado Revised Statute (CRS) 18-6-403(3)(b.5)(5)(b)(II)(5.5) Sexual Exploitation of a Child (Class 4 Felony) (3 Counts) (Video of child over 12 Years of Age); CRS 18-6-403(3)(b.5),(5)(b)(II)(5.5) Sexual Exploitation of a Child (Class 4 Felony)(272 Counts)(Video of Child under 12 Years of Age); and CRS 18-6-403(3)(b.5) Sexual Exploitation of a Child (Class 5 Felony)(96 Counts)(Still Photos).  

On March 19, Winslow subsequently turned himself into the Grand County Jail on the above warrant and is currently being held on a $100,000 Cash/Surety Bond.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) receives information related to the exploitation of children. NCMEC also receives information from Internet Service Providers (ISP), Online Service Providers (OSP) and other Internet based social websites that may relate to the online exploitation of children. 

NCMEC analysts review and attempt to determine a possible jurisdiction for the incident reported. Once the analysis is completed the information is assembled into a report called a “Cybertip.” The Cybertip is assigned a unique number for tracking. 

The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is comprised of 61 task force lead agencies and more than 5,400 affiliated agencies. Each task force lead agency receives Cybertips that may relate to their state. The Cybertips are securely transmitted to the task force lead agency for review and further investigation.

This process led to the Grand County Sheriff’s Office being contacted in reference to this case, the subsequent investigation, and arrest. 

These charges are only accusations based on probable cause, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

With the filing of this case, any additional inquiries should be directed to the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
