KCK man is charged with offering to provide a 2-year-old for sex

A 22-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man was charged with multiple felonies Thursday for allegedly offering to provide a 2-year-old child for sex.

Wyandotte County prosecutors charged Zachary Taylor Garrett with attempted rape of a child, attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated child endangerment.

His bond is set at $500,000 and he is being held in the Wyandotte County jail.

The investigation that led to Thursday’s charges began several weeks ago in southern Missouri, according to prosecutors.

It began with a posting on Craigslist that led to Garrett communicating with undercover police officers and allegedly offering the child for sexual activity, prosecutors said.
