Sugar Daddy Looking For 'Princess To Spoil' Nabbed In Sting: Cops

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — A Hoffman Estates man who advertised on a social media app that he was looking for a "princess to spoil," was arrested when he went to meet who he thought was a 15-year-old school girl in Evergreen Park, prosecutors said. Harris Khan, 45, appeared before Cook County Judge John Mahoney on felony charges of indecent solicitation of a child, traveling to meet a minor and grooming.

An Evergreen Park police officer working undercover on the Internet Crimes Against Children task force responded to a blind ad on the Whisper app expressing interest in being a sugar daddy to a virgin. The officer began a conversation with the would-be sugar daddy, later identified as Khan, posing as a 15-year-old school girl, the prosecutor said.

According to police, Khan, communication on Whisper, Kik and Snapchat, exchanged several messages between Jan. 31 and Feb. 5, with the “teen,” asking how she wanted to be spoiled and her sexual experience with boys. Khan asked the schoolgirl if she was into “older guys,” the prosecutor said. Khan allegedly offered to pay the “teen” $40 to perform oral sex on him, the equivalent of “three hours of babysitting.” The prosecutor said Khan also offered to perform oral sex on her, too.

Khan suggested to the girl that she meet him after school or sneak out during her lunch break, the prosecutor said, and agreed to meet on Feb. 5. Khan arrived around 3:45 p.m. at an Evergreen Park business near 96th Street and Pulaski Road. An undercover police officer was parked in the lot. Khan is said to have directed the “teen” to the business and described the collar of his hat in a text. He was taken into police custody.

Police recovered a backpack from Khan’s car, containing four condoms, banana-flavored lubricant and massage oil, the prosecutor said. Khan allegedly told officers that he was meeting a girl to give her $40 “to help her out.” Officers said the iPhone in Khan’s car was used to communicate with the undercover cop on various social media apps, using the profile name “Sir” and the image of a scorpion.

The assistant public defender told the judge that Khan is a college graduate.

Khan is not to have contact with minors under 18 to stay off the internet while his case is pending. The judge ordered Khan to be held without bail at Cook County Jail.

“I just can’t take a chance,” Mahoney said. “If this is true, you’re every family’s worst nightmare.”

Kahn’s next hearing is March 6 in Bridgeview.
