CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind. — A Greenfield man who once pleaded guilty to violently molesting a child was arrested on Wednesday after being caught at a middle school watching a volleyball game.
Kevin Lee Fisher, 53, was arrested by the Hancock County Sheriff's Department and charged with unlawful entry by a serious sex offender, a Level 6 felony.
Court documents detail how sheriff's deputies were called to Eastern Hancock Middle School shortly before 7 p.m. on Wednesday after a school counselor spotted Fisher inside the school and was aware of him being a registered sex offender.
Deputies walked into the school's gym and found Fisher sitting in the front row of the bleachers watching a fourth-grade girl's volleyball game.
When confronted by deputies with the fact that he is a registered violent predator who is barred from being on school property, Fisher allegedly stated that he was unaware the ban extended to after-school events.
Court records show that Fisher not only pleaded guilty to child molestation in 2016 but has repeatedly failed to register as a sex offender.
The Greenfield Daily Reporter covered Fisher's sentencing in November 2016. Fisher was originally charged with 22 felony counts relating to child molestation after a boy came forward and told authorities that Fisher had held him down and forced the child to participate in sex acts.
But Fisher had already been a registered sex offender even then, having been placed on the registry three years earlier, in 2013, after pleading guilty to child solicitation and vicarious sexual gratification.
