Polk County deputies traveled to Arizona to serve an arrest warrant on a man who they say was arranging to have a Winter Haven girl travel to Arizona to be his sex slave.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies served 30-year-old Kevin Dock of Tucson with an arrest warrant for 13 sex crime charges.
Detectives began investigating on July 30, after the teen’s parents contacted the sheriff’s office to report their daughter missing from their Winter Haven home.
During the investigation, deputies discovered Greyhound bus tickets in the child’s room with the name “Kevin Dock” on them. The tickets were for a July 31 departure from Winter Haven and an Aug 2 arrival in Tucson.
Detectives say the girl returned home the afternoon of July 30 and told her parents about her “friend in Arizona.” She then told them the friend’s name was Kevin Dock, and that she met him online.
During a forensic investigation of the girl’s electronic devices and interviews with her, detectives say they positively identified Dock as the suspect.
Detectives say Dock and the girl first met each other on the Roleplay.Me website and their conversation continued using Google’s Hangouts app. Dock sent nude images of himself and convinced the girl to reciprocate. Their conversations online consisted of extremely graphic sexual language, detectives say.
Detectives chatted online with Dock, posing as the girl.
The investigation also found that Dock solicited her to perform sex acts, and gave her directions on how to buy a bus ticket to come to Arizona to be his “sex slave and other stuff.”
A warrant for Dock’s arrest was obtained, and PCSO detectives reached out to the Tucson Police Department for assistance in locating Dock’s address. They then flew to Arizona to interview Dock.
According to investigators, Dock lives with his parents and his wife in a home just north of Tucson.
People living in the neighborhood say he’s in a wheel chair and never expected he would do something like this.
“This is very scary. Especially when you have young children in the neighborhood. You have lots of little children in this neighborhood that run free and think that it’s safe,” one neighbor told our sister station in Arizona.
Dock will be extradited to Polk County to face the charges here prior to any potential Arizona charges.
Tucson PD has an open investigation of Dock due to child pornography that was discovered on Dock’s electronic devices during the search of his home.
The following charges are included in the PCSO arrest warrant for Kevin Dock:
- One count Travel to Meet After Using Computer to Lure (F-2)
- Five counts Direct/Promote Sexual Performance by Child (F-2)
- Five counts Use of Computer to Seduce, Solicit, Lure Child (F-3)
- One count Lewd Battery (F-3)
- One count Transmit Material Harmful to Child (F-3)
