Serial Rapist Sentenced to Life in Prison in Clayton County for Decades of Attacks

Angelo Lenard Holt, 61, of Fulton County, Georgia, has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of rape in Clayton County. Holt was found responsible for violently attacking and raping at least six women over a span of more than four decades.

The conviction was the result of a collaborative investigation led by the Georgia Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) Task Force, at the invitation of District Attorney Tasha Mosley. The case was prosecuted by Lauryn Perry, a special prosecutor with the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council (PAC), assigned to the Georgia SAKI Task Force.

The investigation encompassed a 2008 rape case, as well as three similar sexual assaults from 1997, 2005, and 2018. Holt had also been previously convicted of rape in Fulton County.

Clayton County District Attorney Tasha Mosley expressed her appreciation for the teamwork involved, stating, “Teamwork isn’t confined to the walls of our office, true justice often requires collaboration beyond organizational lines. It has been a privilege to support Special Prosecutor Perry and the Georgia SAKI Task Force as they worked tirelessly to secure a conviction for Angelo Holt, bringing long-overdue justice to the many women he harmed over four decades.”

The Georgia SAKI Task Force, a project of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) in partnership with PAC, the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office, and the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, provides consultation and technical assistance for the investigation and prosecution of cold case sexual assaults.
