Lewis Convicted of Kidnapping and Aggravated Stalking

Victoria Lewis was convicted of kidnapping with bodily injury and aggravated stalking today in Baldwin Superior Court after a two-day jury trial.  The charges arose in August 2024, when the defendant went to the N. Lincoln Street home of her former girlfriend and kidnapped her, driving her to Covington, GA.  She held the victim against her will in a motel there and physically assaulted her, causing visible injuries.  The victim flagged down some witnesses at a gas station in Covington and asked for help, but the defendant immediately fled the scene with the victim still in her vehicle.  The defendant eventually returned the victim to her home in Milledgeville and was arrested the following day.  The defendant was on probation for a domestic violence case involving the same victim, and the defendant was not permitted to have contact with the victim as a condition of that sentence.  Witnesses travelled from the Covington area, Lawrenceville, and Macon to testify in the trial this week.  The jury deliberated for over an hour before finding the defendant guilty of both charges.

The case was prosecuted by ADA Nancy Scott Moskaly.  The District Attorney's Office would like to thank Det. McLeroy and the Milledgeville Police Department for their work in this case.
