A Rossville man is in custody after Walker County investigators arrested him on several child sex crime charges involving a minor.
Authorities say officers were first called to investigate on Dec. 11, after a report that the victim had disclosed multiple sexual offenses occurring at a home in Walker County. According to investigators, the suspect, who was trusted by the family, allegedly took the victim to his residence on at least two occasions and engaged in sexual acts.
Police say the suspect had regular contact with the family but had not been heard from since the victim confronted him about the abuse. On Dec. 22, investigators executed an arrest and search warrant at the suspect’s Rossville home. After initially finding the residence empty, officers contacted the suspect by phone, and he returned to the home shortly afterward.
Terry Wren Price was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Walker County Jail. He faces charges of rape, child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and aggravated child molestation.
The investigation is ongoing.
