Sentencing expected for man found guilty of vicious assault on UGA student

UGA Police

Sentencing is expected this week for a man convicted of a vicious assault on a UGA student in September of last year.

Tritavious Harris was found guilty Friday of attacking the then 19 year old woman, leaving her with a brain concussion, a broken collar bone, bruises and scrapes.

The case was investigated by UGA police, who provided downtown surveillance videos showing a man following the student from Broad Street to the parking deck. The attack was recorded on video through a glass partition in the stairwell portion of the parking deck…it ended when two college age men approached the scene and Harris ran off.

Police say, though, the men walked by, glanced at the woman and continued on. Harris was found guilty of attempted rape, aggravated assault, robbery and aggravated battery. Jurors acquitted Harris of attempted aggravated sodomy, kidnapping and one count of sexual battery.
