NASSAU- An ex-con who let a runaway schoolgirl live with him has been arrested and charged.
The 16-year-old was missing for a month before she was allegedly found with 45-year-old Marvin Beneby, who has served time for attempted murder and armed robbery.
They can legally have sex. However, because she’s a minor they cannot cohabit as an unmarried couple.
Beneby denied a charge of abduction of an unmarried person between 16 and 18 at his arraignment.
Beneby, of Laird Street, pleaded not guilty. He was granted $5,000 bail and returns to court in October for trial.
