WICHITA – A 20-year-old Canadian man has been charged with picking up a 12-year-old girl in El Dorado, and taking her out of state for the purpose of having sex.

Stewart Kenneth Cody McGill, of Bewdley, Ontario, is charged with one count of transporting a minor out of state for the purpose of having sex. A criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Wichita alleges that on May 31, the girl’s father reported to the El Dorado Police Department that she was missing from home.

Investigators tracked the girl’s cell phone to an area near Potterville, Mich. About 2:45 p-m, on June 1, police located McGill’s car on the shoulder of a dirt road in rural Michigan. He was arrested and the girl was taken into protective custody.

Investigators learned McGill had met the girl online playing “World of Warcraft,” and struck up a relationship with her.
