“It doesn’t stop with one victim.”
The 19 investigative team discovered it’s not the first time this man has slipped through the cracks.
“A man entered my bedroom,” she recalled. “I saw him at the door, and he immediately covered me with a sheet that he had gotten from my two-year-old’s bedroom.”“Fear you know, a great deal of fear at night you know, and being alone I think that took a while to get over, that’s a lifelong thing,” Bryan admitted.
Bryan reported the alleged attack to Akron police right away and got a rape kit, but it took 23 years before a detective finally found her kit wedged behind a shelf. Currently, the statute of limitations for sexual assault in Ohio is 20 years with an additional 5 years if there’s a DNA match.Police reports say in December of 1992, Fischer forced his way into another woman’s Akron home raped her and beat her.
“I was just very disturbed that he had not been caught for mine so that other people, unfortunately, suffered as well,” Bryan said. Fischer’s defense attorney filed a motion to dismiss the case arguing too much time had passed and claims Fischer will suffer irreparable prejudice because of the delay.
