LAWRENCEVILLE, GA – A Norcross man will serve 25 years in prison for molesting a 9-year-old girl.
A Gwinnett County jury found Feliciano Albarran Real, 61, guilty of aggravated child molestation for the January 2021 attack. He was sentenced to life with 25 years to serve in prison. Real also must register for life as a child sex offender.
“This is despicable behavior, and we are grateful that the jury found this defendant guilty,” District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson said. “We pray that this victim and her family find justice and solace in this outcome, as we continue to work with them to provide resources to aid in her recovery.”
The victim told a relative that Real touched her inappropriately in January 2021, causing her body pain. During trial, she testified that the defendant said he “did not care about her age” and threatened to harm her if she told anyone about the abuse. The victim provided consistent statements to police and to a forensic interviewer.
Special Victims Unit Assistant District Attorney Mikaela Henderson and Assistant District Attorney Laura Trejo prosecuted the case with assistance from SVU Investigator LaShonda Williams and SVU Victim Witness Advocate Esther Askew.
