22-year-old Jexon Guardado Lara was caught after being in a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl while at an Orchard Park Apartment on Sealey Drive on August 13th. Officers were dispatched to the residence regarding a relationship between an adult man and a juvenile. When they arrived, they spoke with the juvenile. During an interview, the juvenile claimed that she had numerous sexual encounters with Lara inside her residence as well as his apartment.
She claimed that Lara knew her age throughout their entire relationship, and they engaged in “consensual” sexual activities on August 9th, August 12th, and the morning of August 13th at her residence. She also informed officers that afterward, Lara would take her to school. Officers then spoke with Lara, who admitted to officers that they had consensual sex at the residence on that same day in the morning, August 12th, and once during the week prior but did not know the specific day. Lara was then taken into custody for three counts of statutory rape.
Jexon Otoniel Guardado Lara was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 13th, charged with statutory rape. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $45,000.
