EAST POINT, Ga. -- Two more bodies have been found at the site of an East Point fire.

The fire broke out at the single-story home in the 2900 block of Hogan Road just after midnight on Tuesday.

Two people were able to escape through windows, and told firefighters that three more people were trapped inside. Crews found the remains of one person around noon on Tuesday.

"We thought that there was real strong sentiment and concern that those folks would be in there, and we didn't want to discount that," Ware said. "We wanted to come back out and do our due regards and make certain that if someone was in there, we would be able to find them."

ATLANTA — The man accused of sexually assaulting multiple women in East Point is going to jail for the rest of his life, officials say.

Terry Young pleaded guilty to more than two dozen counts related to the sexual assaults that took place in early September in 2015. The judge sentenced him to life in prison, plus five years. After court proceedings, Young turned to his victims and stated, "Sorry, y'all. My bad."

Officials say last year, Young raped four different women at gunpoint between Sept. 3 and Sept. 9 after forcing most of them to withdraw money from bank ATMs.
