AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron man was found guilty of raping a girl more than 100 times.

 Jurors found Kevin Dasen, 42, of Newell Street in Akron, guilty of rape and sexual battery, according to Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh. 

The 19-year-old victim, who was diagnosed with wide-spectrum Aspergers disorder when she was 9-years-old, reported she had been raped by Dasen repeatedly for six years since she was 13-years-old.

Dasen took the stand in his own defense and admitted to having sex with the victim more than 100 times.

Avery II, the Summit County Prosecutor's Office facility dog, sat with the victim as she testified. Avery is a highly trained dog, whose primary job is providing emotional support to adults with developmental disabilities and children who are victims of crime.

Dasen is scheduled to be sentenced on March 2 at 1:30 p.m.
