Roberto May Arrested for Sexually Assaulting 5-Year-Old


Three days after allegedly sexually assaulting a 5-year-old boy, Fort Collins resident Roberto May was arrested Monday by Fort Collins police.

May, 43, was taken into custody at about 6 p.m. by police at his residence at 720 City Park Avenue No. D421, which is a few blocks west of the Colorado State University campus.

Fort Collins police spokeswoman Rita Davis said little information is available about why May was arrested because the alleged victim is a child. She said the incident occurred on Friday and involved a 5-year-old boy, but provided no further details.

May is being charged with sexual assault on a child, a Class 4 felony, and sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, a Class 3 felony.

When asked what May's relationship is to the boy, Davis said only that he is an "acquaintance."

His bond was set at $10,000 this afternoon by Magistrate Matthew Zehe, when he appeared by video from the Larimer County Jail and communicated through a Spanish-speaking translator.

Prosecutors indicated that May has no family ties to the community while presenting their arguments for bond.

Zehe ruled that May is to have no contact and to stay at least 100 yards away from the alleged victim.

According to Colorado court records, May does not have a past criminal history in the state. His next court appearance will be June 16 before Judge David Williams.
