ATLANTA â A man will spend the rest of his life in prison for raping a 7-year-old girl he was supposed to be babysitting.
According to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, a jury found Charles Harris, 66, guilty of rape, child molestation and false imprisonment after only 25 minutes of deliberations.
Harris, according to the D.A., regularly babysat the 7-year-old victim and her 5-year-old sister between Dec. 1, 2015 and March 9, 2016 while their mother worked an overnight shift. Harris, officials said, was a close family friend of the mother and her girls, who often referred to him as "Uncle" or "Pops."
However, officials said Harris abused that trust and repeatedly raped the 7-year-old victim, starting on April 20, 2016. Officials said Harris would go into the little girls room at night and would touch the victim. The victim recounted several of the incidents with "graphic details."
âShe would pray that he would stop," according to the Assistant D.A. Shaniqua Christian. "She would cry silently because she didnât want to wake her sister (who was in the same room). She was concerned Harris might rape her sister too.â
Officials said Harris pleaded guilty in 1998 to a child molestation charge in Cobb County in a very similar case. On Tuesday, a jury found him guilty again, and a judge ruled he would spend the rest of his life in jail, without the possibility of parole.
