MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – A man who was convicted in a violent Tennessee home invasion robbery that took place 11 years ago has been sentenced to more than 120 years in prison, prosecutors said.

A criminal court judge has sentenced Giorgio Lakeith Jennings to 132 years in prison, including 126 years without the possibility for parole, the Shelby County district attorney’s office said in a news release Saturday.

Jennings, 33, was convicted in November on 22 felony charges, including aggravated rape and aggravated robbery.

Authorities said Jennings and two other gunmen forced their way inside a Memphis home in January 2011. Three women were sexually assaulted, two men were shot in their right hands, and another man was pistol whipped.

Items stolen included two video-game systems, knives, a bow, a spear, and several medieval-type swords, prosecutors said.
