We have just received word from the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office that an employee at Galaxy All-Star Cheerleading in Manitowoc has been taken into police custody after he attempted to have sex with a 15-year-old. A sting operation was facilitated after a juvenile student reported receiving inappropriate messages on social media from a previous Cheer/Dance coach. According to Sheriff Dan Hartwig, the Manitowoc Police Department and County Sheriff’s Office teamed up to contact 29-year-old Eric J. Fisher, portraying themselves as a 15-year-old girl. Fisher asked the “girl” to meet up for sex, and officers surveyed the area where the meet up was supposed to occur. When Fisher arrived at the scene, he was arrested, and charged with Soliciting Intimate Representation of a Minor, Attempting to Expose a Child to Harmful Material, and Use of a Computer to Facilitate a Child Sex Crime. Fisher is being held in the Manitowoc County Jail on $50,000 cash bail, and his initial appearance is scheduled for March 4th, at 1:30 PM.
Investigators are attempting to determine if there are more victims or witnesses. Anyone with information can call the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, Detective Bret Oswald, at 920-683-5011 or the Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers at 920-683-4466 and remain anonymous.
