The police report says after the crime, Simmons simply walked away and left her alone in the rear of the apartment. Neighbors in the apartment complex told LEX 18 they hadn’t hear a thing about it until they saw it on the news.
Richmond Police arrested the 48-year-old Simmons at his house. Simmons allegedly told police the encounter happened at his home and that it was consensual.
