   A Dayton man has been convicted by a jury after he broke into a house in the   
   south student neighborhood last spring and sexually assaulted a female student.   
      
   Marquece Allen Simmons Sr., 32, was found guilty of rape, aggravated burglary,   
   and sexual battery in late August. As of this writing, he will be sentenced on   
   Sept. 26 in the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court and is currently being   
   held in jail. A    
   story update will be published on the Flyer News website after Simmons is   
   sentenced.   
      
   At approximately 4:45 a.m. on April 15, 2023, Simmons broke into a   
   student-leased house on the 1900 block of Trinity Avenue and sexually   
   assaulted a female student who was sleeping on a couch.   
      
   According to a court affidavit obtained by the Dayton Daily News, Simmons then   
   told the victim his name was “Dimitri” and walked into the kitchen before   
   leaving through the front door. The victim made a report to Public Safety at   
   6:00 a.m., who    
   released a safety advisory to students later that afternoon.   
      
   The victim’s roommates found footage of Simmons entering and exiting the   
   house from a camera-equipped Ring doorbell. It showed Simmons leaving in a car   
   parked nearby, which allowed the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles to investigate   
   and name him as a    
   suspect.   
      
   The video was then reportedly shown to Simmons’ probation officer, who   
   confirmed his identity. Authorities arrested Simmons on April 27.   
      
   Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. commended those who contributed to   
   Simmons’ conviction.   
      
   “I am proud of the work by both my office and the University of Dayton   
   Police officers in identifying and convicting this rapist,” he said. “I   
   can only imagine the terror the victim experienced when awoken to a total   
   stranger in her home, sexually    
   assaulting her. Hopefully, he will be sentenced to a lengthy term of   
   incarceration in prison, and he will be a registered sex offender.”   
      
   Simmons will be sentenced by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Susan Solle,   
   who has also served as a part-time adjunct professor at the University of   
   Dayton School of Law since 2004. He faces up to approximately 27 years in   
   prison and a lifetime on    
   the Ohio sex offender registry.   
      
   Ohio law defines rape as any form of unwanted sexual conduct obtained without   
   the victim’s consent and/or using force, threat of force, intimidation or   
   coercion. Sexual battery refers to any sexual conduct to which any of multiple   
   forms of coercion    
   apply.   
      
   Sexual assault is notoriously high among female college students. A 2020   
   survey-based report published by the Association of American Colleges found   
   that, among undergraduates, approximately 26% of women reported sexual assault   
   by force, violence, or    
   incapacitation. Many go unreported— a 2014 U.S. Department of Justice report   
   found that only 20% of female student victims reported sexual assaults to   
   authorities.   
      
   The University recorded 27 reports of sexual assault on campus in 2021. As of   
   this writing, students have been notified of one reported sexual assault for   
   the 2023-2024 school year, which allegedly took place in Caldwell Apartments   
   on the morning of Sept.   
    10.
