NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – A 39-year-old Hershey woman faces trial in November on allegations that she did nothing to stop her husband from sexually assaulting children.
Deanna Fischer has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of
intentional child abuse. A Lincoln County District Court judge set Nov. 23 for Fischer’s trial date. Her husband, Daniel Fischer, who also was charged, committed suicide in April. He had faced several counts of sexual assaulting children.  According to court documents, five girls ages 7 to 15 reported being assaulted by Daniel Fischer at the couple’s home in Hershey. Authorities say Deanna Fischer photographed some of the assaults and did nothing to stop them.
