A former Lyft driver was convicted Monday afternoon in Marietta of raping a passenger. On Tuesday morning, Cobb Superior Court Judge Ann Harris sentenced him to serve 35 years in prison, followed by life on probation as a registered sex offender.

“Sir, she was vulnerable and she was at your mercy,” Harris said upon sentencing, quoted in a news release from Acting District Attorney John Melvin. “You decided you were going to have sex with her, and that is rape.”
