'Still, we were able to move forward with the case using her prior statements and interviews. Our role is not only to seek justice for individual victims, but also to protect the broader community.' Judge Jennifer L. Davis sentenced Borden to serve 25 years in prison. He will also be banned from returning to Cherokee County and is ineligible for parole. Davis also ordered Borden to have no contact with witnesses or the victim's family. 'The jury carefully weighed the evidence and ultimately found this defendant guilty,' District Attorney Susan K.

This sentence ensures that the defendant is removed from society before he can do further harm.' [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
