   FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — A man who police said committed a series of rapes   
   over a 4-year period learned this fate Friday.   
      
   Marquise D. Dozier was sentenced in Allen Superior Court to 55 years in   
   prison. Dozier previously had pleaded guilty to three counts of felony Rape.   
      
   Fort Wayne Police said a series of rapes had been reported in the overnight   
   hours and within a mile of one another, all in the city’s southeast side.   
   The suspect would enter the home through a window or door, then rape and   
   sometimes batter his victim,    
   police said.   
      
   Two of the victims gave impact statements in court, Friday. One woman said she   
   woke up to being beaten in the head with a brick on September 24, 2015.   
   Through tears she explained what happened that night.   
      
   “I was strong enough to fight you off,” she said. “But then you raped   
   me.”   
      
   She was sleeping next to her young son. Her son still asks about “the   
   monster that raped mommy,” she said.   
      
   She told the court she lived in constant fear until Dozier was caught. She   
   also spent months living in a hotel room because she could not go back to the   
   home where she was raped.   
      
   The second victim told Dozier, “you took my body and my sense of   
   security.” Her young child was also home during the rape, however was not in   
   the same room. She lived in fear that he would show up at her house again and   
   said he deserved to die for    
   what he did.   
      
   Dozier cried as he listened to the victims. He was also emotional as several   
   family members went before the court and described him as a role model, a   
   father of two and a husband.   
      
   One family member explained that he did have a rough childhood. Dozier was   
   placed int he foster system at 8-years-old and bounced around to different   
   caregivers. Some of them were abusive. His aunt described what happened as a   
   vicious cycle. She said he    
   owned up to it and that he needs help.   
      
   Dozier told the judge that he did not want anyone to feel sorry for him.   
      
   “This is more than just a mistake,” he said. “No one should have to go   
   through this. It’s not about me, it’s about the victims.”   
      
   He went on to extend his “humble apologies” to the victims, the court   
   systems, the lawyers and the community. He asked for the victim’s   
   forgiveness.   
      
   In August 2017, DNA collected from one of the rapes was analyzed at the   
   Indiana State Police lab and was tied to two other unsolved rapes – one from   
   2015 and another in 2017. The department said previously that the three of the   
   assaults took place in    
   the 4500 block of Park Drive, 5000 block of Bowser Avenue and the 5200 block   
   of Bowser Avenue.   
      
   As officers and technicians worked to identify a suspect, the Fort Wayne   
   Police Department used DNA profilers Parabon-Nano Labs, which helped to   
   identify the killer of April Marie Tinsley last year, to create a DNA Snapshot   
   analysis of what the suspect    
   might look like based on his DNA. In January, police released a computerized   
   sketch of a suspect built through DNA technology.   
      
   In March, then, detectives identified Dozier through fingerprint evidence   
   collected from one of the scenes. He was interviewed and subsequently arrested   
   after police said he admitted to being involved in three rapes over the last   
   four years.   
      
   He faced 10 charges.   
      
   Dozier had previously admitted in open court to using a brick to threaten one   
   woman then raping her. He also admitted to breaking into other homes to rape   
   two other women.
