Скачать или смотреть Guilty plea in Warren County bike trail sexual assault

WARREN COUNTY, Ohio (WKRC) - A man pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman on the Little Miami Bike Trial in July. Kyle Motz, 32, will be sentenced in February.

According to Prosecutor David Fornshell, a 63-year-old woman was running on the trail when Motz jumped out from some bushes and assaulted her. She was able to break free and run to safety.

The woman told police she had seen the same man who assaulted her earlier, walking a small dog. Investigators found her clothing and had DNA from her shorts tested. It was identified as belonging to Motz. He is already a Tier I sex offender from a previous case in Lebanon.

"Motz didn’t just victimize the 63 year-old woman who bravely fought him off. He also victimized all the women who run along that section of the bike trail who likely are having to think even more about their personal safety than they already do," said Warren County Prosecutor David P. Fornshell in a news release. “It’s infuriating when a predator like Motz chooses to target a female victim out enjoying the treasure to our community that the Little Miami Bike Trail is."

Motz pleaded guilty to one count of gross sexual imposition.
