Dec. 6—A 20-year-old Decatur man accused of having sex with a 13-year-old was charged with second-degree rape on Friday, Morgan County District Court records showed.
Xavier Nashon Thorne is charged with the Class B felony and remained in the Morgan County Jail on Friday in lieu of a $100,000 bond, jail records showed.
Decatur police responded to a residence in the 1200-block of Broadus Avenue Southeast after the 13-year-old victim ran away from her grandmother’s residence to meet Thorne in the early morning hours of Nov. 20, according to a Decatur police detective’s affidavit signed on Friday. The grandmother used Apple iPhone’s “Find My” app to trace the runaway to Thorne’s friend’s house.

The then-unidentified man and the victim emerged from the residence, and a Decatur police officer returned the victim to her family. Thorne and the victim discussed the act over Snapchat, according to the affidavit, and Thorne was aware of the victim’s age.
Court records showed Thorne was free on a $10,000 bond at the time for a first-degree theft of property charge involving an allegedly stolen Chevy Tahoe. He had applied for youthful offender status, scheduled to be heard by a Morgan County judge on Dec. 12. Thorne is now scheduled for a bond revocation hearing on the same day, records showed.
