A Shreveport man who abused a tender-aged male relative for more than a year was found guilty of two counts of sexual battery by a Caddo Parish jury Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
Reginald L. Fisher, 61, was in a position of authority over the teen victim, who was abused between April 2022 and May 2023, and was forced to perform sex acts on Fisher while in high school.
The two-woman, four-man jury in District Judge Brady O’Callaghan’s court deliberated just over an hour before returning its guilty verdict.
The jury heard testimony from the victim, his mother and a forensic interviewer from the Gingerbread House Children’s Advocacy Center.
When he returns for sentencing at a date to be determined, Fisher faces a prison term of up to 10 years with or without hard labor on each count.
Assistant District Attorneys Courtney N. Ray and Briana C. Spivey prosecuted Fisher. He was defended by Michael Enright and Katie Miller.
The case was docket No. 396992.
