• Share on:

A woman who was raped 34 years ago in Cobb County has found closure after her rapist, Christopher Lee Milton, 58, pleaded guilty to multiple charges including rape and aggravated assault. Milton was sentenced to 13 years in prison followed by 17 years on probation, and a permanent restraining order was issued to prevent him from contacting the victim. The case, which had gone cold for decades, was revived after the woman's rape kit was tested in 2016, leading to a DNA match with Milton in 2020.
