ATLANTA -- An Atlanta man who videotaped himself raping his cousins, ages 4 and 5, has been sentenced to life plus 20 years in prison, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Jurors convicted 26-year-old Terrell Johnson of rape, two counts of child molestation, and two counts of sexually exploiting a minor via visual medium, reported the AJC. Police said Johnson's girlfriend turned him in after discovering the video on his cell phone in June 2007.

The rapes occurred at the home of Johnson's sister, who was babysitting the two girls, according to a Fulton County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman.
