A former jail guard in Georgia has been sentenced to serve life in prison without parole after a jury found him guilty for a March rape and assault of a 27-year-old Chatsworth woman.
Kirk Taylor Martin, 29, was sentenced Friday morning by Superior Court Judge Cindy Morris.
Martin was convicted on Oct. 11, 2019 by a Murray County jury for rape, three counts of aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy, two counts of aggravated assault by strangulation and aggravated assault with the intent to rape.
Martin formerly worked for the Murray County jail.
The woman Martin raped was held March 7 and into the early morning hours of March 8 before she was able to contact someone outside the home, said Greg Ramey of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.
