NORTHBOROUGH - A local man accused of offering money for sex pleaded not guilty yesterday at his arraignment in Westborough District Court.
Northborough Police arrested John J. Lake, 58, of 135 Whitney St. Thursday on charges of sexual conduct for a fee following an undercover Internet investigation.
Lake appeared before Judge Paul Waicowski, and will appear in court again on Sept. 25 for further arraignment. Lake said he had not been able to hire attorney in time for yesterday’s hearing.
Police received information about a man on the Internet who said he was from Northborough and offered money for oral sex. An undercover officer posted an ad on the personals section of craigslist.org, which Lake responded to on Wednesday, according to the court report filed by Detective Brian Griffin.
"In Mr. Lake’s e-mails he indicated that he was willing to pay for oral sex," Griffin wrote.
The undercover officer, who posed as an 18-year-old man, corresponded more with Lake on Thursday, and they arranged to meet in the Wal-Mart parking lot, Griffin wrote.
"Mr. Lake was under the impression that he would be meeting an 18-year-old male named Jeff," Griffin wrote. "It was also planned that Mr. Lake would meet at Wal-Mart and eventually go back to Mr. Lake’s house."
Lake agreed to pay $100 for oral sex, Griffin wrote, and when he met the undercover officer in the store parking lot, he again said he would pay for the sex act.
After the arrest, Lake was released on agreement that he would appear in court.
