"He yanked it. A bit like milking a goat or cow" is how James Doe #3 described Cory Fisher grabbing his penis


James Doe #3, an inmate at the local jail in Summer of 2017 testified this morning about a pat down and other inappropriate comments made by Cory Fisher.

Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads asked if he was housed in Unit 547. James Doe #3 said he remembers it being called "the bubble."

"Officer Fisher was escorting me to a rec area and he has to do a pat down before I go into the area.  When he did a pat down, he grabbed my penis."

"He yanked it. " Then James Doe #3 made a motion with his hand. "A bit like milking a cow."

James Doe #3 said he was wearing an orange jumpsuit. He did not remember Fisher saying anything. "He pressed up against me. That's how he usually did his body searches with me."

This was unlike any other pat downs that James Doe #3 had experienced.

"There were certain dinners he brought like hot dogs; he always made inappropriate comments. He would say it's weenie night."
The way he said it made James Doe #3 uncomfortable. Fisher never made comments about other meals but he made comments every time he served hot dogs to the inmates.

James Doe #3 could not remember certain comments Fisher made; after Ms. Eads showed him a report, he said that Fisher made comments about "buns and weenies." Fisher would say, "It's time to suck the weenies."

"There was one time I was out for my shower. Iset my shampoo by my cell door. Cory asked me to get down on my knees and pick it up."

"When he did wristband checks, he would stand close to my head with his crotch in my face. Other officers would just open the door."

"Did you tell anybody? Another correctional officer or anyone in charge at the jail about these experiences? Ms. Eads asked James Doe #3.

James Doe # 3 said he told a female investigator and this was while Fisher was still working at the jail.

James Doe #3 said delay in reporting was because, "First of, I wrote it off. That type of thing has happened to me before in prison. I wasn't taken seriously. I noticed on the news a lot of people coming forward. So, it gave me an idea to try it."

James Doe #3 said he was not looking for money and there were no promises of leniency made in exchange for his testimony.

"I just wanted to look him in the eye in Court and let him know that he can't get away with this kind of thing. Especially in jail, it happens a lot."

James Doe # 3 has been incarcerated for 20 years. His convictions include child molestation, indecent exposure, burglary and resisting an officer.

During cross examination, in response to questions  by Deputy Conflict Counsel David Lee,  James Doe #3 said prior to  Summer of 2017, he knew Fisher through previous contact in the jail for "roughly 7 years." He did not remember how long he was in jail in Summer of 2017. His cell was on located on the upper tier next to the "rec door." There was a video camera "but at that time someone smashed it." He said it is possible that other inmates could have observed Fisher and the alleged yanking on the penis incident.

"Was your penis erect?" asked Mr. Lee.

"No," said James Doe #3.

"He got his hands around your penis over your overalls? asked Mr. Lee.

James Doe #3 said he could not remember yelling at breakfast that a officer had sexually molested him and no one would listen to him.

 James Doe #3 retracted an answer he gave a minute ago. At first James Doe #3 said he did not know Fisher had been charged with sex crimes when he reported what allegedly happened to.him. James Doe #3 then changed his answer that he did know and "that was part of the reason I wanted to come out with it."
