VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A man has been sentenced to two life terms, plus 80 years in prison.
According to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the city of Virginia Beach, Albert Junior Cox, 52, was sentenced in Circuit Court on Wednesday.
Cox was sentenced on four counts of Forcible Sodomy, Rape, Object Sexual Penetration, and Indecent Liberties.
Evidence proved that between 2011 and 2015 Cox sexually abused two children he knew on a consistent basis.
