Who Is Bobby Lee Hart Jr? Accused Serial Rapist May Have Over 25 Victims
Authorities believe Hart, 53, who has been arrested, may have been operating in three counties in Georgia since 1988.
Bobby Lee Hart Jr., a 53-year-old man from Georgia, is accused of being a serial rapist who may have victimized over 25 women across multiple counties over a span of nearly four decades. On August 2025, Hart was arrested and indicted in connection with sexual assaults in Cobb and Douglas counties. Paulding County District Attorney Robert Lane announced an ongoing investigation into Hart, related to an alleged assault that occurred in 2012.
Lane stated that the suspect may have been active in Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties since 1988, primarily around the Highway 92 corridor. The district attorney has urged potential victims to come forward, emphasizing the importance of their testimony in the investigation. Hart is known by several aliases, including "Meat King" and "Champ."
His father, the Reverend Bobby Lee Hart Sr., claimed his son denied the allegations when they spoke following his arrest. Paulding County Sheriff Ashley Henson stated that while authorities have released several images of Hart, it is crucial for the public to review them, as he may appear different in each photo. If individuals believe they have been victimized or recognize Hart, they are encouraged to contact the Paulding County Victim Services Unit.
The district attorney's office has requested the public's assistance in identifying potential victims and investigating the cases.
