3 repeat violent offenders eligible for release, set to appear before Ohio Parole Board

A trilogy of child sex offenders could be released on Trumbull County streets late this year: Willis Reitz, William Fisher and David Lockney.

“In my career I have never seen a worse group of vicious sexual predators come up for parole release at the same time,” said Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins.

Read the full letters sent by Watkins to Ohio Parole Board Chair Lisa Hoying opposing their release.

It’s available on the Trumbull County Prosecutor’s Office website.

According to Watkins, the Reitz, Fisher and Lockney trio have been incarcerated for 93 years.

“The good news is the Ohio Parole Board over the years have repeatedly turned them down,” he said. “Unfortunately both Reitz and Fisher had been imprisoned and released on parole in the past and after release, they [assaulted] the same children and others again. Still victims, police, prosecutors and citizens must be vigilant and stand firm that Public Safety comes first – when there is the potential of extreme violence being involved. Every day this nation sees violent offenders being released from prison on parole or probation and re-offend.”
