Will County and Cook County sheriff’s deputies arrested a Frankfort Township man Thursday after he tried to arrange an illicit meeting at a New Lenox motel with an undercover officer posing as a father willing to prostitute out his 6-year-old daughter.
Brandon J. Bergthold, 25, of the 7700 block of North Ave., was charged with two felony counts of indecent solicitation of a child and two felony counts of traveling to meet a minor. Additional charges might be forthcoming once there is a review of more evidence, said Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer, adding that the investigation was still open.
Bergthold is being held in the Will County Jail on $750,000. If he is released on bail, he is to have no contact with minors. His next court date is Feb. 17.
