Loudon man sought sex from teena

A Loudon man was arrested Friday for sexual exploitation of a minor after a concerned father took evidence to officers.

Lenoir City Police Officer Jamie Pistole was dispatched to a home on Bon Street where he met the father of a 15-year-old who had been receiving sexually explicit messages from Charles Henry Green, 51, on social media. The girl’s grandfather saw where Green had commented on the girl’s social media post and told her father Green was “not a good person to be commenting on her posts,” Pistole wrote in a report.

The girl’s father then saw private messages through Facebook Messenger between his daughter and Green. Green had asked the girl to come to his house on Cave Creek Road and said he wanted to meet her. The girl told Green she couldn’t drive and was only 15 years old and in school. Green told her if she would meet him, he would want to have sex with her, according to a report.

Green also asked the girl about her underwear and what size bra she wore. He told her he would wear clothes “that could be taken off in a sexual manner.” He made several other lewd comments about clothing to the girl, Pistole wrote in a report.

Green was charged with solicitation of a minor and released on $100,000 bond.

Teen sets up muggingA Lenoir City teen was arrested Sunday after arranging for a man up to be mugged.

Lenoir City Police Officer Jordan Samuels was dispatched to Lenoir City Park on Sunday in reference to a stolen 2014 Jeep Patriot. The owner of the vehicle told Samuels not only was his car stolen by four males, but officers should be on the look out for a white Kia with two females, according to a report.

Samuels found the white Kia heading toward the Casa de Lago subdivision and stopped it at the entrance. Kayley Renee Marcum, 18, was driving with a 15-year-old girl in the passenger seat. Samuels asked the girls to sit in the back of his patrol vehicle for further investigation so they wouldn’t be out in the cold, Samuels wrote in a report.

While Samuels spoke to the girls, other officers located the Jeep Patriot in Lakeview Cemetery. Loudon County Sheriff’s Office K9 units tracked the vehicle in the Casa de Lago subdivision but were unable to locate the men.

The owner of the Jeep Patriot said he was texting Marcum to make plans to hang out. The two knew each other from going to school together in the past. He said they met in the park and Marcum was sitting in her white Kia. He parked close to Marcum where she then entered the car. Marcum locked all the doors, which alarmed him. He looked around and saw four unfamiliar men surround his Jeep, Pistole wrote in a report.

Marcum unlocked the doors, and one of the men pulled him out. All four men punched, kicked and slammed him to the ground. Marcum told him, “Give them all your stuff.” The man reported his phone and credit cards were taken along with his Jeep.

Texts between Marcum and another man show there was a plan to rob the victim, according to a report.

Marcum was charged with robbery and held without bond.
