Chadrus Brown was convicted of rape, aggravated sodomy, and child molestation in the sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl in December 2012.
The 40-year-old Brown, of Atlanta, fondled and then raped the girl after forcing her to sleep alone in a bed with him, prosecutors said.
The girl told her family the next day, and Brown was arrested after DNA evidence linked him to the assault, investigators said.
Brown, who acted as his own attorney, claimed the victim was lying.
He also argued in pretrial motions that he was immune to prosecution because he is a sovereign citizen, and thus not bound by any form of government or constitution.
But a judge denied his motion and started the trial, which ended with a pair of convictions after jurors deliberated for less than 30 minutes.
Brown was serving his third stint in state prison during the trial, with previous convictions for theft, forgery, and terroristic threats and acts.
The judge tacked on an additional 60-year prison term to Brown's life sentences with no chance for parole.
but the more I read, the more it seems like there is something odd going on with the middle-aged people in America. Like there's something in that generation that went awry or like maybe they were pushed too much or something. I need to do more research to nail it down because this keeps cropping up. This very same scenario keeps popping into the radar to the point where it's almost becoming a trope.
And that is terrible. Lord knows what will happen to that little girl when she grows up and what her actual relationship to her sexuality will eventually look like despite what she may have to (pretend to) act like for the sake of her parents. The man sounds unbalanced yet for various reasons does not appear to ever have been committed. Not that I would ever wish that for everyone b/c, like prison, the asylum is one institution that has hardly changed since its official inception hundreds of years ago.
