Richard Fischer, the sheriff's deputy accused of groping and sexually assaulting more than a dozen women he encountered while on duty, will go to trial for an added set of charges after several days of new testimony from his accusers.

A judge said in a preliminary hearing Wednesday that there was enough evidence for a trial on the additional claims, setting the arraignment for Oct. 25.

Fischer faces more than 25 years behind bars if convicted of all charges.

A former San Diego County sheriff's deputy jailed for groping and sexually assaulting more than a dozen women while on duty was released from custody earlier this month, but not due to any early release agreements, the District Attorney's Office said Thursday.

Richard Fischer, 34, was sentenced last December to 44 months behind bars followed by 16 months of post-release supervision.

"He was released on May 15 after receiving custody credits under the law, which is standard for every qualifying inmate," according to a statement issued by the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.

"These credits were calculated by the Imperial County Probation Department and implemented by the sheriff. There were no agreements to an early release by DA's office. It does not appear that there was an early release by the Sheriff's Department."
