DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office announced a man had been convicted and sentenced for breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home and sexually assaulting her in 2016.
Rassoloman Davis, 38 of Lithonia, was convicted for breaking into his ex’s home on July 3, 2016 and holding a knife to her neck while wearing a mask to hide his identity and assaulting her.
The DA’s office said Davis then dragged her from the bed and down the stairs of her home. The victim fought back and tried to pull of her attacker’s mask, learning it was Davis.
