Tennessee Man Gets 132 Years in Prison for 2011 Home Invasion Where Three Women Were Raped and Two Men Were Injured by Gunfire


A Tennessee man was sentenced to 132 years in prison late last week over a horrific home invasion that occurred more than a decade ago.

Giorgio Lakeith Jennings, 33, was convicted on a total of 22 felony offenses in November 2021 including six counts of aggravated rape, five counts of aggravated robbery, three counts of aggravated assault, three counts of facilitation aggravated assault, three counts of aggravated kidnapping, one count of aggravated burglary, and one count of employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony, according to Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich.

The crime occurred on Jan. 17, 2011, at a residence in the Berclair neighborhood of Memphis, Tenn. Jennings and two other men — both of whom are still at large — forced their way into the house with pistols in their hands. In the ensuing carnage and chaos, three women were raped, two men were shot, and another man was severely beaten with one of the guns.

All six of the victims were between the ages of 21 and 26 at the time of the attack; the two men who were shot received the bullets in their right hands. After the terror spree, the assailants stole two video game systems as well a collection of weapons including knives, a bow, a spear, and numerous swords fashioned in a medieval style.
Jennings also has an extant criminal case involving a sexual assault charge against him pending in Las Vegas, Nevada.
