Ex-doctor pleads guilty to child rape
— A former Dayton-area DAYTON doctor who once admitted to trading narcotic prescriptions for sex with at least three different women pleaded guilty Monday to multiple counts of rape and gross sexual imposition against a child.
Jason D. Connors, 45, has been on electronic home detention since October 29, 2014, when he posted a $500,000 surety bond. Connors is scheduled to be sentenced May 18. He will serve from 19 to 25 years in prison as part of a plea deal.
Prosecutors sought to have Connors placed in custody during Monday’s plea, but Montgomery County Common Pleas Court Judge Mary Wiseman denied the request.
The 2014 child sex crimes case is unrelated to Connors’ 2004 convictions on seven counts of trafficking in drugs, for which he lost his medical license to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery. Connors was arrested and extradited from Las Vegas in April 2014 for crimes that allegedly took place in Moraine.
Connors pleaded guilty to three indicted counts of gross sexual imposition of a child younger than 13, each third-degree felony charge punishable from one to five years in prison. Connors also pleaded guilty by bill of information to three counts of rape by force or threat, each first-degree felony punishable from three to 11 years in prison.
Connors had been indicted on three counts of rape of a child younger than 10, each count which would have been punishable by life in prison.
In 2013, Connors sought to have his drug trafficking convictions sealed, which was denied. Court documents indicate Connors admitted to trading narcotics prescriptions for sex with a woman, her daughter and her daughter’s roommate.
A letter from a clinical psychologist to the Montgomery County Adult Probation Dept. stated, “Although his legal charges were not sexual in nature, his behaviors related to these charges were.”
Connors’ attorney in the 2004 case wrote that Connors was in the lowrisk category compared with other adult male sexual offenders. Connors completed his treatment Nov. 2, 2009. The sex crimes against the child that prosecutors say Connors admitted to happened between July 26, 2010, and Dec. 8, 2013.
