Tier III sex offender arrested on rape, burglary charges
WASHINGTON TWP, Montgomery County — Sheriff’s investigators arrested a registered Tier III sex offender on felony rape and aggravated burglary charges Thursday night, Oct. 29.
Tyler L. Ray Jr., 33, was arrested about 10 p.m. near Ohio 725 and Lyons Road by sheriff’s deputies, according to Montgomery County Jail records. A 28-year-old woman told deputies Ray raped her and forced his way into her apartment, Maj. Scott Landis said.
Investigators are still reviewing the woman’s statements and have yet to talk to her Friday about the incident, Landis said.
Ray, who lives at 2044 Rustic Road, Dayton, was convicted of raping a young girl in 1997, according to state sex offender data. He is currently on parole for the crime.
Ray is required to register as a Tier III offender - the state’s designation for the most violent sexual predators - for the rest of his life.
The state’s sex offender web site indicates Ray worked at the Dayton Mall, but his employer is unknown.
A court date has not been set and Ray remains in jail this morning.
