Police: Man thought he was arranging sex with 16-year-old

"A 44-year-old man was arrested after finding two detectives, a sergeant, and a tactical officer at a Tinley Park restaurant instead of the 16-year-old girl [sic] he was trying to arrange a sexual encounter with over the Internet, police said today.

MGW 44, of Palos Park, was arrested Thursday and charged with indecent solicitation of a child over the Internet, according to a police report from Tinley Park Police.

The investigation began Monday when police posted an ad in the “Casual Encounters” section of Craigslist. It was titled: “Later in the week? Wild child looking.”

In the post, police wrote: “Hello, it looks like I will be free later in the week on Thursday. I am young but don’t feel young. I need an adventure. I am 5-foot-8, and athletic, want to know more?” the report said.

Later that day, investigators received a response to the post, which they said turned out to be from Whitlock.

Investigators continued to communicate via email with him and, on Wednesday at 9:26 p.m. an investigator told him he was a “16-year-old girl’’ who attends Lincoln Way North High School, and Whitlock then asked to have sex with her, the report said.

Investigators even exchanged photographs with Whitlock, giving him a photo of a female police officer when she was 16 years old, the report said."
