Cooke worked as a fairground worker, which gave him the opportunity to travel the country and lure children. He was a member of the "[[Dirty Dozen]]", a group of child molesters lead by Cooke and self-confessed serial killer [[Leslie Bailey]]. Cooke would lure boys back to his East London flat, where they would be tranquilised and [[Gang Rape|gang-raped]] in group orgies. The gang is suspected of abducting, raping and murdering nine boys.

On 1 June 1984, seven-year-old Mark Tildesley disappeared while visiting a funfair in Woking, Berkshire. To this day he has never been located. Witnesses said they saw him leave with a male suspect termed "the Stooping Man". A sketch of the Stooping Man was distributed and identified as Sidney Cooke; however, Cooke claimed to have been working at a different funfair and his alibi could not be disproved, so he could not be charged.
