"You laughed," she told Page, who was sentenced to 30 years. "You asked my husband how he felt. You wanted to take my husband's manhood from him."
Criminal Court Judge Bob McGee sentenced Page to 30 years and McMahan to 25 years.
Assistant District Attorney General Phil Morton has said he had DNA evidence tying Page and McMahan to the two-hour attack at the couple's home on River Shores Drive.
Because of the level of violence involved in the case, the law requires that the trio serve most, if not all, of their sentences before becoming eligible for release. Those who are convicted of most other crimes must only serve one-third of their respective sentences under Tennessee law before they are eligible for parole.
Nolan had been required to testify truthfully against Page and McMahan as part of his plea deal this summer.
According to Morton, the attack began just after 1 a.m., when the couple were asleep in their bed. The couple did not know their attackers. According to Morton, the trio broke into the house via a basement door.
"All three defendants were armed when they entered the bedroom," Morton said at Nolan's July hearing.
The woman's husband was struck in the head with a gun. Both were bound with "belts and other items the defendants found in that bedroom," he said. The woman also was forced to disrobe, he said.
In an effort to stave off further attack, the husband voluntarily led the robbers to another area of the house where he kept his bank card and gave them the code necessary to use it, the prosecutor said. The robbers weren't satisfied, though. They also took from the husband a collection of state quarters valued at $2,000 and then ordered him back to the bedroom, where he was forced at gunpoint to lie on the floor and watch as his wife was forced to perform oral sex on each of the three robbers, Morton said.
The man also was forced at gunpoint to take from his wife jewelry, including her wedding ring, and hand it over to the home invaders, according to Morton.

"I'm saying 'no' and crying," she recounted, describing graphic details of being touched. "I said please don't do this and he hit me over the head."
She said when she told one of the men that she would not perform oral sex, he "picked up my head and slammed it back down."
