Press release
The Crawford County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has received notice that the Ohio Parole Board has scheduled a parole hearing for Shawn M. Case. Case was convicted of three (3) counts of Rape in 1997, and sentenced to Life in Prison on each count.
Matthew Crall, Crawford County Prosecuting Attorney, will be filing his response to the Parole Board on behalf of the State of Ohio. “It has been many years since Case committed these acts, with most of them occurring more than 20 years ago. As part of filing our response, I want to ensure that the victims and their families have the opportunity to respond as well,” Crall said.
Crall continued, “We have been able to contact some of the victims and their families, but there are still some that we do not have updated contact information.”
While not identifying the victims and families for privacy reasons, Crall hopes that his office can assist victims of this heinous act in providing a statement to the Parole Board.
“Please contact me or Jim Scott, our Victim Advocate, if you wish to provide information to the Parole Board,” Crall added.
The Crawford County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office telephone number is (419) 562-9782, or if you prefer, Jim Scott’s e-mail is crawfordvictims@crawford-co.org.
