COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A man arrested earlier this week in a prostitution sting was in court Friday to face charges that he tried to pay an undercover officer for services for himself and his 2-year-old grandson, NBC 4's Barbra Flannigan reported.

Charles Carpenter, 42, was arraigned Friday. He was charged with one count of attempted gross sexual imposition and a count of solicitation.
Police said Carpenter offered an undercover officer $5 to perform oral sex on his grandson.
Bond was set at $15,000.
The child was turned over to his mother. Carpenter was ordered to stay away from the child.
The two-day prostitution bust netted numerous suspects. About 25 uniformed and undercover officers worked together on three shifts after weeks of planning and coordination, NBC 4 reported.
