Fischer’s 20-Year Escape Ends in Conviction | Providence News
Description
A Rhode Island anesthesiologist, Fischer, is facing life in prison after a 20-year evasion of justice for a 2003 sexual assault on his yacht—convicted despite never attending trial. He also faces additional charges for bail jumping and fleeing prosecution. A civil suit by the victim led to asset freezes, forcing the court to intervene to secure legal counsel. Held without bail, Fischer’s long legal saga underscores the persistence of justice—even when a defendant disappears for decades. Sentencing looms November 2nd.
