Fugitive Police Officer Accused Of Child Sex Abuse
BALTIMORE -- Oprah Winfrey is on a crusade to save children from child sex offenders and is offering $100,000 to anyone who helps catch those on the run.
One of the accused is a former Baltimore City police officer. Edward Claire Reisch, 55, is accused of assaulting and sodomizing a 16-year-old relative.
WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Lisa Robinson said the incident allegedly took place inside a south Baltimore home in 1999. The victim was visiting family over the Thanksgiving weekend.
According to the statement of charges, the victim "began to become afraid due to the defendant being an ex-police officer, being intoxicated and being physically larger and stronger." The report said after the attack, the victim told adults in the house, and when confronted, Reisch fled the scene.
Police charged him with several sex offenses relating to the incident, but they haven't been able to prosecute because he's been on the run.
Reisch joined the Baltimore City police force in June 1975. Police said he left the force in 1986 to start his own business.
He also goes by the alias Robert C. Reisch Jr. and has family ties to Pittsburgh. He was even able to get a Pennsylvania driver's license in December just weeks after he took off.
Police believe Reisch is armed and dangerous. If you see him, you are asked to call the warrant apprehension task force at (410) 637-8970 or dial 911.
