Russian Women Offered Vodka, Groped, Deputies Say

ESTES PARK, Colo. -- Four Russian-born 19- and 20-year-old women were offered vodka and groped by a 76-year-old man in an Estes Park mobile home park, sheriff's officials said Friday.

The alleged incident was reported Wednesday night.

The women told Larimer County deputies that the man took advantage of the language barrier and cultural differences between them to get inside the women's mobile home. He then offered them vodka in an attempt to get them to come to his home, the women and a witness told deputies.

The women said the man then began to touch and grope them.

Eldon Gustafson, of Omaha, Neb., was arrested and booked on four counts of unlawful sexual contact. He was released on a $500 bond.

Members of the Victim Advocate Team responded to assist the four women.
