A 39-year-old Hershey woman whose child-abuse case was dropped in November has been charged with sexual assault of a child.
The three new counts against Deanna Fischer, of Hershey, are based on two incidents that prosecutors say occurred in February 2006 and one that prosecutors say occurred in February 2005.
In November a child-abuse charge against Fischer was dropped.
She'd been accused of not stopping her husband from sexually assaulting children.
Authorities say Daniel Fischer committed suicide after he was charged.
Deanna Fischer remained in Lincoln County Jail on Friday, pending $50,000 bail. Her attorney in the earlier case says he isn't representing her in the new one.
