PA Chief Gets Probation for Sexual Misconduct with Female Subordinates

Former Lawrence Park (PA) Volunteer Fire Department fire chief Nicholas A. Fisher has been sentenced to two years probation on two third-degree misdemeanor charges of harassment by communication.

Fisher, 33, allegedly engaged in unwanted sexual communication and inappropriate physical contact with three female firefighters. The unwanted sexual communications included repeated inquiries about the women’s sex lives, sexual comments, sexually explicit text messages, and sending "dirty'' naked pictures.

He originally sought to enter a deferral program for first time non-violent offenders, but was denied acceptance when the victims objected. Besides probation, Fisher must pay court costs.
