DELTA, Colo. -- A Delta man is behind bars after being suspected of sexually abusing a child for four years. Now some are wondering how a crime can go unreported for so long.
Last week 47-year-old Jeffrey Bingham was arrested in connection with sexually assaulting a child 873 times. Police records say the child first started being victimized in the seventh grade. The records go on to say the attacks continued until the child was in their second year of high school.
Western Slope Center for Children Family Advocate, Joy Thompson, often works with child victims. She says too often the child closely knows their attacker.
In the case of Bingham, records say the child he allegedly assaulted personally knew him during the four years of being assaulted. FULL STORY
