Sexual Assault

Two Cheyenne men were recently sentenced in Laramie County District Court to 35 to 40 years and 8 to 12 years in prison, respectively, for separate sex crimes.

A Laramie County jury on Thursday returned a split verdict in the case against a former Wyoming Highway Patrol sergeant charged with sexually assaulting two women.

According to RAINN statistics, an American is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds, and every nine minutes that victim is a child.

A CPD spokeswoman wrote ''These statements were found to be false – it was confirmed that the named offender has been incarcerated since July 2022."

The post describes Mesa as standing 6 feet tall and weighing 210 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

Investigators are concerned that Warren may have been involved in other incidents, and are asking anyone with information on suchn incidents to come forward.

Police want to talk to a bystander who stopped the assault to learn more about the rapist.

According to the release, Stagner continued to make false allegations as the case was investigated as part of an effort to extort money from the man.

The trial will continue Friday morning.
