T.M.T.H. Lightner approached her on Windsor near St. James Street and forced her into
a wooded area at gunpoint. He hit her in the head with a gun and forced her to performfellatio on him and engage in both anal and vaginal intercourse. He also fired a shot at
her and threatened to kill her.
Lightner went to prison in 1996 for Attempted Rape, Attempted Kidnapping, Robbery
and Felonious Assault. He was released from prison on 1-22-07 and required to register as a sex offender.
In a recent sex offender sweep, the defendant was arrested on June 11, 2013 for aviolation of ORC Section 2950.05 Registration of New Address and his DNA was
collected. When his DNA was put into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) he was a
match for DNA collected and saved from the 3 previously unsolved 1995 rapes.
Prosecutor Deters commented, “Lightner deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.
His crimes were horrific and he changed the lives of his victims forever.
Fortunately, technology helped us solve these cases and enabled us to give our community some comfort in the knowledge that a violent predator is off of our streets
and not able to terrorize any more innocent young women.
The Cincinnati Police Department and the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office deserve
great credit for this indictment today. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department andthe United States Marshall Service deserve our thanks for locating him during their sex
offender registration sweep.”
