A 19-year old Murfreesboro man has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a 12-year old girl. Joseph Sallaj allegedly met the young girl at the Stones River Mall. The two left the mall together and headed to Sallaj’s home on West Clark Boulevard where the two allegedly had intercourse. The incident reportedly occurred this past March, but the girl just now came forward with the details. The young child told a Department of Children’s Service worker about the incident and the case was then forwarded to the Murfreesboro Police Department. According to police, Sallaj admitted to the accusations during a police interview. The 19-year old is currently out of jail after paying a $4,500 bail. Sallaj was charged with rape of a child. A police arrest report shows there could be additional victims and the case is still being investigated.
