A 40-year old man has been charged with the attempted rape of a child. Enrique R. Martinez allegedly fondled a 12-year old girl who had fallen asleep on his couch. His relationship to the young girl was not released by police on Monday when the incident was reported. When the child awoke by being touched, Martinez reportedly undid his pants and asked the girl to touch him. The child said no and grabbed a fork to protect herself from Martinez.
Police say that they were not able to confirm Martinez’s real age because he had no valid form of ID in his possession. Martienz told them he was 40 and that he lives on Benley Street in Murfreesboro.
Martinez was charged with the attempted rape of a child and aggravated sexual battery.
