1. “[T]he record demonstrates that, although both rape counts involved the same type of sexual activity-fellatio-and were committed within a short time of each other, there were two separate and distinct acts of penetration, separated by significant intervening acts. See State v. Jones , 78 Ohio St.3d 12 , 14, 676 N.E.2d 80 (1997). The first act of rape occurred while the girl was apparently semi-conscious. That act was followed by a withdrawal from the girl's mouth, the girl's apparent loss of consciousness, and then the defendant's forceful penetration of the unconscious girl's mouth. Id. at ¶ 49.”
