Brit Charged with Child Sex Slave Plot Turns Down Deal

An Englishman charged with trying to buy a child sex slave turned down his last chance to take a deal from prosecutors.

Charles Bocock, 38, was given five days to take the deal. If he didn’t, Will County Judge Sarah Jones said his case would be scheduled for trial.

Bocock was pinched on indecent solicitation of a child, grooming, and traveling to meet a minor charges during a June 2013 sting at a Plainfield Dunkin’ Donuts.

A British citizen living in Chicago at the time of his arrest, Bocock allegedly responded to a Craigslist advertisement posted by a Plainfield resident who was looking to get money for his car payment. In exchange for the money, Bocock wanted a girl for sex, officials said, and preferred one between the ages of 7 and 11.

The Plainfield resident went to the police and an investigator pretending to be the cash-strapped Craigslist poster continued the online conversation with Bocock, officials said. The investigator reportedly offered Bocock his 12-year-old niece for the car payment money, and a rendezvous was set up at the Dunkin’ Donuts.

After Bocock was taken into custody, police searched his North Tripp Avenue home and found “numerous” images of child pornography, a prosecutor said at a prior court hearing.

Bocock has found the amenities at the county jail lacking, according to court papers. Since he has been locked up, Bocock has filed a lawsuit claiming the jail commissary sold him spoiled mayonnaise and a petition complaining that the towels are too small.
