The American received a life sentence after an accidental meeting with the victim
54-year-old Antonio White from Fulton County (Georgia) was convicted of rape after the victim recognized him six years after the incident.
The man was sentenced to life imprisonment without the right to parole after that, writes AJC.
The victim recognized White when she was expecting transport at MARTA Five Points station in October 2013, six years after the incident.
The woman started screaming that this man raped her six years ago. Hearing her screams, the police arrested White and launched an investigation.
In August, 2007, the victim was walking near Hamilton E. Holmes station, when White drove up to her in his gray Chevrolet Lumina and offered a ride.
The woman knew White from the Carver Homes quarter in Southeast Atlanta, where they both lived before, so she agreed. But instead of taking her home, the criminal took the victim to an abandoned house on Bowen Avenue.
When White stopped, the victim opened the door and ran, but he began to pursue her with a pistol. The defendant grabbed the victim by the hair, pulled him back into the car at gunpoint and raped him inside the car.
For years, the victim told family members and other people that she had been raped, but she never officially reported the incident to the police.
Prosecutors at the trial also presented evidence on White's four previous sexual harassment, which was also previously accused of rape, robbery, and forced sex.
