27-year-old Mariam Abdulrab, 27 was abducted from her boyfriend's driveway in 2021 and later shot and killed. Police soon arrested DeMarcus Brinkley, a repeat sex offender in Georgia with a long rap sheet, including child molestation.
Mariam's Law comes after an Atlanta News First investigation exposed a loophole that allowed a repeat sex offender to get out of prison only to now face a murder accusation.
Atlanta leaders are urging state lawmakers to expand restrictions for Georgia sex offenders. On Tuesday afternoon, the Atlanta City Council unanimously approved a resolution urging the Georgia General Assembly to adopt Mariam’s Law, which would expand restrictions for Georgia sex offenders.
