CHARGE: Child Enticement for the Purpose of Engaging in Prostitution SS948.07

The Janesville Police Department arrested Robert Hendrickson at his address on 09-08-10 after it was reported that he had solicited a 17 year old neighbor for the purposes of engaging in a sex act. The 17 year old female victim reported that Hendrickson, who is her neighbor, had asked her to come up to his apartment. She reported that once she had arrived at his apartment he asked her if she was interested in “making $20.00”. When she asked how that was going to occur, he told her she would have to expose herself while he masturbated in front of her. The victim immediately said no, fled the apartment, and then contacted the Police Department.

Hendrickson was taken into custody and eventually transported to the Rock County Jail on the above charge and a probation/parole violation. Hendrickson is a registered sex-offender with the State of Wisconsin with a previous sex offense.
