Tritavious Malik Harris

By Joe Johnson
A Clarke County jury on Friday convicted an Athens man of the robbery and attempted rape of a University of Georgia student two years ago.
Tritavious Malik Harris, 25, had been charged in a 14-count indictment for a brutal sexual assault and robbery of the student near UGA’s North Campus.
According to the indictment, Harris was charged with criminal attempt to commit rape, criminal attempt to commit aggravated sodomy, kidnapping, aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated battery, robbery by force, three counts of sexual battery, simple assault, battery, criminal trespass, and theft by taking.
Following a trial in Superior Court, a jury found Harris guilty of criminal attempt to commit rape, aggravated assault, two counts each of aggravated battery and sexual battery, robbery by force, and felony theft.
Harris was acquitted of attempted aggravated sodomy and kidnapping with bodily injury.
According to a UGA police report, the incident happened early the morning of Sept. 18 2021, when the student was pulled by the hair, punched in the face and then slammed onto the ground by a man who sexually assaulted and robbed her near the North Campus.
According to the report, at about 2:33 a.m. a UGA police officer spotted the victim lying on a sidewalk on Fulton Street, west of the Tanner Building, which houses some grad students.
When the officer roused the victim, who had visible injuries to her face, hands and arms, she was unable to say what happened, according to the report.
The report notes that police reviewed surveillance video camera footage that showed the victim being accosted by a man who “intentionally caused physical injury to (the victim) by dragging her by her hair, punching and slapping her in the face, and slamming her to the ground resulting in losing consciousness.

Video surveillance footage that helped police identify Harris
“While (the victim) was unconscious”, the report continued, “the unknown male dragged her into a dark area and reached into her pants, touching her intimate parts in the process,” and noted that during a struggle the suspect grabbed the victim’s shirt and tore off a portion of it.
The suspect then stole the victim’s cellphone before fleeing the area on foot.
According to the indictment, the victim suffered a concussion and broken collar bone.
Following the attack, police released surveillance camera images of the suspect which generated leads from the public that helped investigators to identify Harris as the suspect.
A date for Harris’s sentencing was not immediately scheduled.
