A man listed among the Metro Nashville Police Department’s (MNPD) “Most Wanted” fugitives has been taken into custody after authorities say he maintained a sexual relationship with a teenage girl.

Metro Nashville police confirmed that the suspect, whose name has not been publicly released pending formal charges, was apprehended without incident. Investigators allege he initiated contact with the minor online before engaging in illegal sexual activity. According to MNPD, the suspect was actively evading arrest for several weeks and was considered a high-risk offender due to the nature of the accusations.

Authorities emphasized that bringing fugitives like this into custody remains a priority to protect vulnerable individuals, especially minors targeted through social media and other digital platforms. The arrest comes as law enforcement continues to warn parents about the growing threat of online predators exploiting gaps in oversight.

Police officials credited community tips and diligent detective work for locating the suspect. They urged anyone with knowledge of crimes against children to contact the department’s specialized unit for child exploitation cases.

The suspect is currently being held in a local jail facility and is expected to face formal charges related to statutory rape and other sex offenses involving a minor. No bond has been set at this time.

MNPD representatives said the case highlights the importance of holding offenders fully accountable and ensuring that justice is served for victims who are often too young to advocate for themselves.
