A Rutherford County mother was charged with 22 counts of statutory rape after police say she failed to report her underage daughter was having sex with a 23-year-old man.
Joyce L. Green, 37, of Murfreesboro was indicted by a grand jury this month after an investigation by Murfreesboro Police Detective Tommy Roberts revealed she failed to report the criminal activities.
"The investigation showed Ms. Green was the parent of one (of three) victims and was aware that her daughter was having sex with the adult male," Roberts reported. "The case was presented to the January 2011 grand jury and the male suspect was indicted."
That man, however, has since fled the state, according to Roberts, and is yet to be apprehended.
Green was also indicted for failure to report a crime.
She was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center following her arrest on Feb. 3 and her arraignment in circuit court is pending. ..Source.. by THE DAILY NEWS JOURNAL
