Midstate briefs: Man charged in rape of 13-year-old girl
LEBANON
A Lebanon man is accused of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl multiple times, Wilson County Sheriff Terry Ashe said.
Maurilol Barrera, 34, who officials said is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested after the girl's mother called authorities saying that the man took her and her daughter to the woods on Aug. 4, Ashe said.
"He finally walked out of the woods several hours later and was trying to use a phone at the house," Ashe said. "He was allegedly the boyfriend of the mother, and that's how he gained access to her (the girl)."
Barrera was charged with two counts of rape of a child, three counts of statutory rape and one count of aggravated kidnapping and remained in Wilson County Jail without bond, Ashe said.
The alleged assaults happened on several occasions between March and August of this year in Lebanon and Mt. Juliet, the sheriff said.
