Pikeville Man Indicted Following TBI Rape Investigation
BLEDSOE COUNTY – A Pikeville man faces a felony charge, accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor.
In late October, at the request of 12th District Attorney General Mike Taylor, TBI special agents began investigating Braydon Pendergrass (DOB 2-7-2002). Agents subsequently developed information Pendergrass had a sexual encounter with a minor earlier in the month.
