Bowling Green Resident Accused of Child Sex Crime
News has emerged from Bowling Green, KY, of an 18-year-old resident who stands charged with a serious sex crime involving a minor. The alleged offender, named as Tate D. Woodcock, is suspected of an illicit sexual deed with a young child. If found guilty, this would be his first offense.
The Police of Warren County arrested Woodcock on July 19 on a felony charge for a purported unlawful interaction with a minor – an attempted illegal sex act. Local authorities have continued their investigation into the incident, and Woodcock remains custody as it unfolds.
According to a citation from local law enforcement, Woodcock is said to have initiated contact with a seven-year-old boy in a local area, whilst the child was riding his bike. The perpetrator purportedly lured the youngster with a query of whether he “desired superpowers”, before encouraging him towards a private area and asking him to undress.
The youthful victim’s younger sibling is reported to have caught Woodock in the backyard before leading the child back to safety at home. Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to guiding the child to the secluded area and advising him to remove his clothes. He, however, insisted that his actions did not go any further, and he hadn’t touched the young boy.
During the course of questioning, Woodock made an admission to law enforcement officers about his personal sexual preferences, confessing that he was attracted to males. He went on to suggest that imprisonment might be a beneficial course of action for him – according to the issued citation.
Whilst in custody, Woodcock openly confessed to his mother about all proceedings and actions leading up to his arrest. Currently held at the Warren County Detention Center, his bond is set at $10,000 cash until further court proceedings. As yet, the dates for future hearings have not been appointed.
