Sexual battery suspect arrested

Man worked at rehab center

Stafeno Wartson was arrested by Sex Crimes Detectives and the Northern Oklahoma Violent Crimes Task Force on Monday.

Wartson was arrested for sexual battery and failure to register as a sex offender.

On Saturday, a female patient at 12 & 12 near 41st and Sheridan told a worker that Wartson came into her room and touched her inappropriately. The victim said she told him to stop, but he continued anyway. Wartson, who worked as a medical technician at the drug rehab center was sent home after the allegations were made.

During the investigation police found out Wartson was also a sex offender who had never registered.
