Man Pleads Guilty to Harassing Child in Brentwood Home Depot

A Ladue man pleaded guilty Monday to harassing an 11-year-old child in a Home Depot restroom in Brentwood.

Christopher A. Frank, 42, of the 700 block of Cella Road in Ladue, pleaded guilty to harassment involving an adult harassing a child, a class D felony.

Frank received a suspended imposition of sentence, given 120 days of electronic home monitoring and was placed on five years probation.

Frank originally was charged with sexual misconduct involving a child under age 15, also a class D misdemeanor. He is owner and president of Cfx Inc., a marketing firm based in St. Louis.

Brentwood Police reported that Frank got on his knees in a restroom stall and exposed his genitals to an 11-year-old boy in the next stall Nov. 25. Police said Frank then lay on the floor and watched the boy use the restroom.

As part of the plea agreement, Frank will not be placed on Missouri’s Sex Offender Registry. However, he will go through probation as part of the sex offenders program, a St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office official said.
