Cheatham County authorities are in an active search for 49-year-old Marvin Lewis Page, who investigators say is wanted on rape charges after an alleged attack at a Chapmansboro home in April 2025. Officials say Page may be living on the streets and could be in the Nashville area or in nearby Rutherford County.

Wanted by investigators

Investigators have identified the suspect as Marvin Lewis Page, who they say was living at a Mosely Road home in Chapmansboro in April 2025, according to WKRN. Capt. Chris Gilmore told WKRN that Page "may be homeless and could be in the Nashville area or Rutherford County," and deputies are asking residents to keep an eye out and report any possible sightings.

State records and past arrests

According to records from the Tennessee Department of Corrections, Page has prior arrests for driving under the influence and drug-related offenses, along with a past sexual battery conviction. State officials also report that he violated sex-offender registry requirements. For broader context on public registration and reporting, see the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry.

Allegations involve an elderly victim

Cheatham County investigators say a grand jury returned an indictment last year, charging Page with raping a woman in her 70s at the Chapmansboro residence. Authorities have not released further details about the alleged assault or the events leading up to it.

How to help

The Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information about Page’s whereabouts to call 615-792-2098. Officials caution residents not to approach anyone they believe could be the suspect and to contact law enforcement immediately instead.

Legal note

An indictment means a grand jury has formally charged a person with one or more crimes; it is not a finding of guilt. For the most current information on this case, readers should check Cheatham County court records or contact the sheriff’s office.
