A Colorado man and former carnival worker is accused of taking a young boy from a bowling alley and having sexual contact with him.

Thirty-three year old Joshua Winters has been charged with one count of kidnapping, one count of first degree sexual abuse of a minor, and one count of second degree sexual abuse of a minor.

Investigators with the Casper Police Department say while at the El Marko Lanes Bowling Alley on Monday evening (July 18th), winters approached a group of juveniles playing video games, and provided some money, and then later joined in.








Winters is awaiting trial on $250,000 bond, and could face between 20 years to life in prison on the kidnapping charge, between 25-to-50 years on the first degree sexual abuse of a minor charge, and up to 20 years in prison on the second degree sexual abuse of a minor charge if convicted.

Earlier in the day he had quit his job as a carnival worker for the company that was at the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo.
