Google24-year-old Xavier Jiminez Bencebi, of Cedar Road, was arrested in Estill Springs after deputies in that county obtained information that Bencebi allegedly had sex with a 14-year-old girl.
According to reports filed by Deputies George Dyer and Josh Keith of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, the stepfather and sister of the alleged victim told deputies that they were afraid that Bencebi had sex with the 14-year-old.
Dyer reported he spoke to Bencebi, issued a Miranda warning and recorded the conversation, in which "Xavier stated he thought the girl was 17 years old."
"He stated he told her that they had to wait until she was 18," the report read. "Xavier stated that they did have sex one time at her house in Estill Springs,"
The report also indicated that investigators allegedly found evidence of sexual activity at the scene.
Keith's report said he responded to the location in reference to a violation of an order of protection.
"Prior to my arrival, Sgt. Matt Baker made contact with several individuals, one being very combative," who Keith identifies in his report as being Bencebi.
Baker had Bencebi "detained for the safety of himself and others at the scene," Keith reported, and was taken to the Estill Springs Police Department "due to the nature of the situation."
Keith said Bencebi was charged with criminal trespassing due to the posted 'no trespassing' signs on the property.
Investigator Troy Brown and Deputy Troy Jernigan spoke with the girl at the police department with the consent of her mother and the victim admitted having sexual relations with Bencebi, but stated it had occurred in Knoxville.
Dyer stated in his report that "Bencebi stated to me that he had sex with (the victim). I asked him where at and he stated at her house and pointed in the direction of her home."
Bencebi will appear in Franklin County General Sessions Court on April 9.

"GEE JUDGE SHE LOOKED 17" give me a break. And since when do all these dudes get off being identified as "a Shelbyville Man". He isn't and we don't want him. Franklin County can keep him.
It is strange that this guy is a "Shelbyville Man" but get a speeding ticket and your in the newspaper!!
I must have been still sleeping when I read this cause I read it twice and didn't see this guys name until just now... Xavier Jiminez Bencebi or maybe I just didn't realize that was a name.
Xavier Jiminez Bencebi
legal citizen or not?
Just my question.
He must be charged with Aggravated Statutory Rape...regular Stat Rape wouldn't get a $100,000 bond. Wonder why he says it happened in the victim's house and she says it happened in Knoxville...must've happened more than once.
I'm thinking it happened more than once too. I also get the feeling the child is trying to hide that the man was at the house for some reason. I wonder if the child and parents "know" this man.
Dyer reported he spoke to Bencebi, issued a Miranda warning and recorded the conversation, in which "Xavier stated he thought the girl was 17 years old."
"He stated he told her that they had to wait until she was 18," the report read. "Xavier stated that they did have sex one time at her house in Estill Springs,"
"Yep" that right their saids it all. Now I wonder did the parents know they were seeing each other, and allowed her to see him.
It would appear that foriegners are not only competing for jobs at Tyson, they are attempting to monopolize our police blotter as well!
