SO Seeking More Potential Victims

Paul Travis Howerton of Longdale was arrested April 11 and is facing charges of sexual battery and aggravated possession of child pornography.

According to Blaine County Sheriff Travis Daugherty, his department received information via social media and began an investigation into Howerton’s activities.

One victim came forward and alleged he had groped the victim while that person was a juvenile.

The department believes there are multiple other victims and wants them to reach out to investigators.

“Now is their time to come forward and let us help them seek the justice they deserve,” he said.

Victims or potential witnesses can reach the SO in many ways. They can go to the county law enforcement complex at 220 N Burford St. in Watonga, send an email, reach out on social media or call and ask to speak to an investigator.

Daugherty said there is no need for victims to give their names or story to the person who answers the phone at the office, just ask to speak to an investigator. The phone number is 580 623-5111.
