About an hour northwest of Murfreesboro in Robertson County, an adult has been arrested for a crime against a minor, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). But the incident began in Goodlettsville, TN. The investigation by special agents with the TBI into allegations of rape against a juvenile resulted in the indictment and arrest of the Millersville man.

At the request of the 19th Judicial District Attorney General Robert Nash, on September 4th, TBI special agents began investigating allegations that a juvenile had been raped by Joseph Maynard. During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that, in July, Maynard had sexual contact with the juvenile at a home in Goodlettsville.

On October 17, a Robertson County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Joseph Matthew Maynard, who turns 38 in just two months, with one count of Sexual Battery, one count of Rape and one count of Aggravated Statutory Rape. On November 14th, Maynard was located about 330 miles from Canada and arrested by U.S. Marshals in Wells, Minnesota. He was extradited and booked into the Robertson County Jail on November 24.
