Is there any actual evidence of him committing sex crimes?

I don’t know about convictions but his mother is quoted in the original article:

Ceja’s mother, Karen Fancher, spoke in court at the sentencing, saying, “[Ceja] was killed for something he did 24 years ago,” per the Gazette.

Prosecutor Sharon Flaherty said in closing arguments that Simmons killed Ceja because he was a registered sex offender who had a relationship with a 17-year-old girl when he was 25, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported.

Ceja had a warrant out for his arrest for failing to register as a sex offender when he was killed, the outlet reported.

“(Simmons) has an unrestrained hatred for anyone who would molest a child,” Flaherty said.

Police said Simmons shot Ceja in a garage, dismembered his body, and stored it in a freezer before moving the remains in a van.

Officials linked Simmons to the murder through DNA from blood in the garage, the paper reported.

Simmons was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, an additional 24 years for tampering with a deceased body, and three more years for tampering with physical evidence

Woman with ‘unrestrained hatred’ for child predators killed, dismembered alleged wanted sex offender, prosecutor says

A Colorado woman who had an ‘unrestrained hatred’ for child predators will spend the rest of her life behind bars after she killed and dismembered a wanted sex offender.
