Suspect In Live-Stream Sexual Assault Sentenced

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

A Columbus man will spend the next nine years in prison for live-streaming a sexual assault.  Raymond Gates was sentenced yesterday for raping a 17-year-old girl at his home in February. The woman accused of recording the attack, Maria Lonina, is scheduled to go on trial in December on kidnapping, rape and other charges.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
