Marietta Child Rapist Sentenced to Two Life Sentences

MARIETTA, GA — A Marietta man has been sentenced to two life sentences for sexually assaulting two little girls.

Marco Tormorris Thompson, 39, was convicted last week of three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of aggravated sodomy, and one count each of child molestation and aggravated sexual battery.

He received his sentence on Thursday.

Between 2009 and 2010, Thompson sexually assaulted two girls beginning when each was six years old. The abuse against one child continued until she was eight years old. Many of the assaults occurred in a Jamestowne Drive home in Powder Springs, and police learned about them when one victim wrote a note about the assaults and gave it to an adult.

“This defendant preyed on these innocent girls and took advantage when he was alone with them. He stole their childhoods and forever altered their lives,” said ADA Lindsay Gardner. “He simply does not deserve to be a free man ever again.”

Thompson argued with Cobb Superior Court Judge Ann Harris before she imposed sentence, insisting he did not assault the children.
