Georgia father convicted of attempted rape of underage daughter

A Georgia man was sentenced to four decades in prison after he was convicted of sexually assaulting his underage daughter.

Pierre Lang, 47, was found guilty on Thursday of criminal attempt to commit rape, aggravated sexual battery, aggravated sodomy and incest, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office opened an investigation into the sexual assault on April 16, when deputies were called to speak with a girl who had run away from her home.

The girl told an investigator that Lang was undressed lying in bed with her, touched her inappropriately and forced her to touch him.

Lang stopped the abuse only after she told him she was tired, the girl said in her testimony.

As Lang was leaving, the girl grabbed her cell phone and took a photo of his naked body, according to officials. She then ran out of the house and called law enforcement.

"The bravery of this young lady to fight for herself and her safety is remarkable. We are proud of law enforcement and our team for standing next to her, believing her, and giving her a voice." District Attorney Dalia Racine said in a statement. "If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please reach out and find help." 

While the judge sentenced Lang to life in prison, he will serve 40 years behind bars.

Yankees fans serenade Fernando Tatis Jr. with 'steroids' chant; Padres outfielder basks in it

Fernando Tatis Jr. sure loves being the new villain of Major League Baseball.

The San Diego Padres outfielder missed the entire 2022 season after suffering an injury from a motorcycle fall, but right when he was set to return, he was suspended 80 games for performance-enhancing drugs.

Tatis returned earlier this year, but for the remainder of his career, he will be taunted. That certainly was no different in the Bronx on Friday night.

In the Padres game in New York against the Yankees, the right field Bleacher Creatures hit Tatis with the long taunt of "steroids."

Most players would ignore it and probably hate it - but Fernando Tatis Jr. is not most players.

The star outfielder seemed to love every second of it and acted as a conductor to the jeers.

Oh, and Tatis wasn't done there - he hit a moonshot into the upper deck, gave an epic bat flip, and hit an imaginary jump shot rounding third base in San Diego's 5-1 victory in the Bronx.

This isn't the first time Tatis has entertained the taunts. When Chicago Cubs hit him with a "He's on steroids" chant, he actually danced to it.

Tatis said he "inadvertently" took a medication that contained Clostebol, a banned substance, as he was treating a case of ringworm.

"I should have used the resources available to me in order to ensure that no banned substances were in what I took. I failed to do so," he said in a statement.

Tatis said he initially appealed the suspension, but "I have realized that my mistake was the cause of this result, and for that reason I have decided to start serving my suspension immediately.

"I have no excuse for my error, and I would never do anything to cheat or disrespect this game I love," he added.

Tatis signed a 13-year, $340 million deal before the 2021 season that was the third-most lucrative deal in MLB history at the time. Francisco Lindor surpassed him by $1 million before that season started, and Aaron Judge's nine-year, $360 million deal this offseason also beat Tatis' number, and teammate Manny Machado signed a $350 million extension before Opening Day.

Despite their wild signings, the Padres are just 24-27 and in fourth place in the NL West.
