Man to 'Vigorously Defend' Cockblocking Accusation

CHICAGO (AP) -- A Wicker Park man has vowed to defend himself from the accusation of cockblocking stemming from an incident on New Year's Eve.

Luke Penca, 30, is facing a civil suit leveled by Mr X., a friend of Penca's who was staying at the same downtown hotel during the night in question.

The suit alleges that a group including the two friends attended a party in the hotel ballrooms with the expressed intent of "clocking", a slang term that means "to be rollin', making it big, gathering bunches of a particular item'. In this particular case, the group was clocking women.

At some point in the evening, according to the suit, the plaintiff left the ballroom with a young woman while Penca stayed behind. What happened next is the subject of the litigation.

"The defendant willfully, and without regard for the plaintiff's sexual needs, began loudly banging on the hotel door and, thus, a cockblocking of the plaintiff ensued," reads the court documents.

"We believe their case is without merit," said Andrew J., a partner at Jenner & Block who is representing Penca. "They waited until the last possible moment before the statute of limitations expired. If they had a stronger case, we would have seen this case weeks ago. Irrespective, we will vigorously defend these allegations and look forward to court and the exoneration of my client."

Phone calls to the plaintiff requesting comment were not made so they were not returned.

Speaking from the soot covered steps of the destroyed Pilgrim Baptist Church, the Rev. Jesse J. Action offered his take on the suit against the defendant.

"This is malicious prosecution by the plaintiff stemming from his sexual frustration," decried a firebrand Action. "Mr. Penca could not cock block. He would not cock block. Just drop the cock block. He wanted to clock." continued Jackson as the choir sang its rendition of "We Shall Overcome".

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for this Friday.
