Brit Scoffs at Deal in Kid Sex Slave Case

An Englishman charged with trying to buy a child sex slave turned his nose up at a deal and will get a trial date in two weeks.

Charles Bocock, 37, appeared in court Monday and refused to take a deal from prosecutors.

Bocock has been locked up for more than two year following his arrest on charges of indecent solicitation of a child, grooming, and traveling to meet a minor. He has found the amenities at the county jail lacking, according to court papers, and filed a lawsuit claiming the jail commissary sold him spoiled mayonnaise and a petition complaining that the towels are too small.

Bocock was arrested during a June 2013 sting at a Plainfield Dunkin’ Donuts.

A British citizen living in Chicago at the time he was taken into custody, 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 arrested, police searched his North Tripp Avenue home and found “numerous” images of child pornography, a prosecutor said at a prior court hearing.
