Cobb Superior Court Judge Reuben M. Green ordered a defendant to serve two consecutive life sentences plus 20 years after a jury reached a guilty verdict on charges of rape, sodomy and child molestation, Cobb District Attorney Vic Reynolds announced. The alleged victims were two young girls, ages 5 and 8, the daughters of a woman with whom the defendant had a “romantic relationship,” the DA’s announcement said.

Lawton was found guilty of rape, four counts of aggravated sodomy, four counts of aggravated child molestation, and two counts of child molestation. READ MORE HERE
