-A Marshfield man charged after responding to an ad on Craigslist posted by an undercover officer attempting to catch child sex predators appeared in Wood County Court on Wednesday.According to court records, 42-year-old Jared Teche responded to the officer’s ad where he was posing as a father of two girls, ages 8 and 11, stating they were available. Teche responded by offering $400 to have sexual contact with the 8-year-old. Teche had sent a nude photo of himself to the officer and he had arranged to meet the girl near the end of October. However, he backed out because he was worried the posting was a fake. The Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation managed to trace the email address to Teche’s home. During an interview, Teche claimed he was trying to protect children from predators.
Teche has been charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography and conspiracy to commit soliciting a child for prostitution. During his court appearance on Wednesday, a judge refused to lower his $25,000 cash bond saying it was appropriate because of the seriousness of the charges. Teche will be back in court in March.
