McDONOUGH — A man arrested in March on charges of raping an elderly McDonough resident has been sentenced to 25 years in prison and life on probation following his guilty plea on Sept. 16.

Travale Farris, 29, was arrested for the February rape after his DNA matched the suspect in the crime. Farris pleaded guilty to one count each of rape, aggravated sexual battery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, exploitation and intimidation of an elder person and three counts of criminal attempts to commit a felony.
