AKRON, Ohio — A convicted sex offender pleaded guilty to raping a man who suffered a seizure.
Richard Leese, 46, entered the plea Wednesday to one count of first-degree felony rape. Summit County Common Pleas Judge Todd McKenney scheduled Leese's sentencing for Sept. 16.
On March 26, Leese asked a co-worker to help him get tools from his apartment. The 27-year-old man suffered a seizure while at the apartment, according to his statement to police.
Leese sexually assaulted the man as the seizure was ending, according to police.
Leese pleaded guilty in 2007 to having unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and inducing panic in Lima. He spent six years and six months in prison and was released Jan. 23, 2014.
