Trumbull prosecutor opposing parole request by man convicted of sex crimes against multiple children

Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins is opposing parole for a man convicted of sex crimes against multiple children over multiple decades.

William W. Fisher, 73, who is incarcerated in North Central Correctional Institution in Marion, will face a panel from the Ohio Adult Parole Authority who will interview the inmate outside his cell in late August.

The panel will consider whether Fisher will be released from prison.

Why Dennis Watkins is opposing the proposed release of William W. Fisher

Watkins, however, is opposing this effort, writing a letter dated July 19 to parole board members. He calls Fisher a repeat sex offender and child rapist.

“William Wayne Fisher had raped different children over three decades, the 70s, 80s and 90s, and the only reason he has not raped another child is because he has been locked up for nearly the past 30 years,” Watkins wrote. “He is a multi-generational sexual predator whose middle name should be changed to ‘recidivist with a Capital R.’ This man gets indicted for raping family members in 1987, one of whom he raped before, flees Warren and then in 1994 comes back to our town with a new identity as James Watters and rapes children from another family, ages 6, 11, and 12! This man belongs in the Sex Offender Hall of Shame.”
