Greeley police arrest registered child sex offender on 56 felony charges
Greeley, Colo. — Detectives with the Greeley Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit arrested Nathan Burton, 44, on Friday, May 8, following an investigation into the sexual exploitation of children, the department said in a news release.
The arrest followed an investigation initiated by several cyber tips alleging Burton was in possession of child sexual abuse material. ICAC detectives secured search warrants for locations in Greeley and Fort Collins. With the assistance of the Fort Collins Police Department, detectives executed the warrants and recovered a significant amount of evidence, which assisted in the identification of multiple victims.
Burton was arrested on 56 felony charges related to the sexual exploitation of children and possession of child sexual abuse material. The Weld County Court issued a $300,000 cash/surety bond for Burton, who remains in custody at the Weld County Jail.
Detectives are concerned there may be additional victims and encourage anyone with children who may have had interactions with Burton to contact the Greeley Police ICAC unit. This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information on this case should contact Detective Joseph Rosengrants at
