The Dayton Police Department began an investigation Aug. 14, 2023, when a woman took her 9-year-old daughter to Dayton Children’s Hospital because she had concerns the girl had been sexually assaulted, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
In a forensic interview, the girl described multiple assaults by Bansobeza and said they happened during the spring of that year, the affidavit stated.
While investigating, detectives also became aware of an 8-year-old girl who described multiple similar incidents, court documents read.
Bansobeza was indicted in January for a second time after a third girl came forward who made similar sexual assault allegations against him.
He is held in the Montgomery County Jail awaiting transport to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correction’s Correctional Reception Center in Orient for processing before he is assigned to a prison to serve out his sentence.
