ELKIN
A Wilkes County man was charged last week with statutory sex offense with a 14-year-old boy and another offense, authorities said.
William Frederick Cosby, 45, of State Road also was charged with felony solicitation of a child by computer to commit a sex act, Elkin police said in a statement.
The State Bureau of Investigation and Elkin police arrested Cosby on Thursday after the boy was contacted on the Internet and approached by an adult on Nov. 13, police said.
Cosby was released Friday from the Surry County Jail in Dobson on a $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 12.
