Ever Ricardo Morales

Statutory rape charges were filed Wednesday against a suspect accused of having sex multiple times with a 13-year-old girl, a Murfreesboro Police detective reported.

Suspect Ever Ricardo Morales, 22, of Fourth Avenue was charged with five counts of statutory rape after an investigation by Detective Tommy Roberts.

Roberts was following up on a domestic assault case and learned Morales allegedly had sexual contact with the girl when she was 13.

“Morales admitted having sex with her starting March of 2008 and through July of 2009,” Roberts reported. “(The) victim stated that it has been going on longer.”

The suspect was born in Guatemala and does not possess any legal documents to show his age. He has been in Tennessee since 2006.

Morales was booked into Rutherford County Adult Detention Center where he is being held. A hearing is set Sept. 3 in General Sessions Court.
