Derrick Fischer, 53, of Akron, will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years in prison.
AKRON, Ohio — An Akron man currently in prison was sentenced to life Friday after he was convicted of the 2010 rape of a woman in Barberton.
Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Alison McCarty also designated Derrick Fischer, 53, a Tier III sex offender, according to county Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich. McCarty also found Fischer guilty of a sexually violent predator specification, which allowed McCarty to increase the sentence for each count to 10-years-to-life.In April, a jury found Fisher guilty of two counts of rape, both first-degree felonies.
“Derrick Fischer is a dangerous man with a violent history,” Kolkovich said in a statement. “My office will fight to keep him in prison for the rest of his life.” Kolkovich says Fischer’s prosecution was conducted as part of the Akron Police Department’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative . The survivor was sexually assaulted in 2010 but at the time the investigation did not lead to a suspect. Evidence in the case was tested in 2017 with a DNA profile matching Fischer to the crime, Kolkovich says.
