Prosecutors said Dinler attacked the woman after driving her home from a bar in North Philadelphia and walking her to her dorm room as she drifted in and out of consciousness.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Semen found on a comforter and towel inside the dorm room were found to be a match to Dinler\u2019s DNA, according to Assistant District Attorney Danielle Gallaher. And surveillance footage taken from cameras outside of the dorm building showed Dinler escorting her inside, arm-in-arm, because she was too intoxicated to walk on her own, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In agreeing to plead no-contest, Dinler did not admit guilt, but did not dispute the prosecution\u2019s statement of the facts in the case. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Gallaher said she would seek a prison term of three to six years at sentencing in October.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Dinler\u2019s attorney, Shaka Johnson, did not return a request for comment Monday. Previously, Johnson said there were \u201cglaring, glaring cracks\u201d in the woman\u2019s account of what happened that night.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The woman, who was a senior at Villanova at the time, testified at a preliminary hearing that she woke up, drunk and disoriented, as Dinler raped her in September 2024. She said she was too terrified to fight back or call out for help.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Earlier that evening, she said, she had been drinking with friends on campus before the group headed to Warehouse on Watts, a bar in North Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1757\">Man stabbed on SEPTA bus in West Philadelphia, authorites say<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The woman said she did not drink regularly, but on that night had three glasses of wine and two shots.
