A 29-year-old Jackson man was arrested Friday and charged with second-degree statutory rape after a 14-year-old girl reported she had been involved in a sexual relationship with him.
Ulises Guitierrez remains in custody in the Cape Girardeau County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. An investigation conducted by Jackson police is ongoing, said Jackson Lt. James Humphreys.
The girl told police the relationship took place over a two- to three-month period, ending in January.
