Bo Dukes Pleads Guilty to Unrelated Rape Charges While Serving Time for Concealing Tara Grinstead's Death

The plea deal allows Dukes' sentences for the rape cases to run concurrently with his current 25-year term for his role in Grinstead's death.

Bo Dukes, currently serving a 25-year prison term for concealing the death of Georgia teacher Tara Grinstead, has pleaded guilty to reduced charges in two unrelated rape cases.
Dukes agreed to plea deals on November 13 to settle charges that he had raped women in 2017 and 2019 after threatening them with weapons.
Prosecutors allowed Dukes to plead guilty to aggravated assault with intent to rape in both cases, and to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Dukes' sentences for these crimes will not add to his current prison term, due to a plea deal.
Additional charges related to Grinstead's death are still pending in a neighboring county where Dukes and his friend, Ryan Duke, burned her body.
