A Wayne County man has been sentenced to 14 to 31 years in prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two children in Carbon County, according to acting state Attorney General Michelle Henry.

In 2020, George Karagiannis began talking to the victims, ages 12 and 13 at the time, through the social media sites Omegele, KiK, and SnapChat.

He developed an online relationship with the girls, eventually asking them to send him nude photographs.

In May 2020, Karagiannis met the girls at night at a Carbon County park where he sexually assaulted them.

A jury found Karagiannis guilty of sexually assaulting the two minors on aggravated indecent assault and related charges.

Following his prison term, he will be on three years probation and must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

This case was prosecuted by Deputy Attorneys General Angela Raver and Angela Sperrazza, and Special Agents Nicole Whaley and Kate Fallon.

“The details of this case are disturbing, and I am glad to see a dangerous predator taken off the streets,” Henry said. “Our office is committed to protecting and standing up for the safety of children across the Commonwealth, and will continue to be relentless in our pursuit of those who harm children.”
