A Mableton man convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl received seven years in prison.
Kalem Amin Hasan, 69, was sentenced on July 14 for sexually assaulting the girl while she slept during an overnight visit to Hasan's home in June 2019, Cobb District Attorney Flynn Broady's office said Tuesday. He will spend seven years in custody followed by 13 years on probation.
According to the district attorney’s news release, a family member of the victim confronted Hasan immediately after the assault took place and called 911. Following a Cobb County Police investigation, Hasan was arrested and indicted for child molestation on October 29, 2019.
Cobb Superior Court Chief Judge Rob Leonard delivered the sentence a day after a Cobb jury took less than an hour to return a guilty verdict.
Assistant district attorney Jared Horowitz led the trial team for the prosecution during the three-day trial.
“Hasan used darkness and opportunity to carry out his attack on a sleeping, 12-year-old child,” Horowitz said in a news release. “I commend the courage of our young survivor who bravely shared her truth with the jury. The jury’s verdict shows this type of behavior should not and will not be tolerated here in Cobb County.”
