Father and son charged with raping an eight-year-old girl were each sentenced to 20 years in prison, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia confirmed on Saturday.

Senaki Regional Court fully shared the evidence presented by the Prosecutor and found both defendants guilty of rape “committed against a person who has not attained the age of 14 years” (Criminal Code of Georgia, Article 137).

The investigation found that father and son, identified as B.G. and Z.G., raped a minor “several times” in Georgia's western Samegrelo region during the period between 2020 and June 21, 2021.

The perpetrators threatened to kill the victim if she would tell anyone about the violence, the Prosecutor’s Office noted.
