A Denver man, Carl Avery, was convicted of six child sex crime-related charges but failed to appear for his verdict hearing and is now on the run. The charges include patronizing a child prostitute and distributing methamphetamines to a minor, following incidents in January 2023 where he met a 17-year-old girl and engaged in criminal activities. Denver police are seeking the public's help to locate him.
