Wiley Fountain
Wiley Fountain was charged with aggravated sexual assault on January 15,1986. After serving 15 years on March 18, 2003, Governor Rick Perry had given Wiley Fountain his grant of freedom. The Victim, who was pregnant at the time of aggravated sexual assault, had been walking from her apartment when she heard footsteps behind her. As she turned around to look at the man she had noticed she had seen him before this coming incident. The man who she had seen before grabbed her from behind revealing his pocket knife. After he was done raping the victim he took her money and ran away.
The Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science had looked through her rape kit and analyzed the seminal fluids and vaginal fluids; unfortunately there was too little evidence. So based upon the victim saying that Wiley was the man who raped her, and Wiley just happening to wear the same thing as the rapier, Fountain was charged with aggravated sexual assault.
Michelle Moore, a woman who worked at the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office, wanted further investigate and reopen the case of the man who was charged with aggravated sexual assault off of what one woman said. She wanted to perform a post-conviction DNA test, and on March 26, 2002 she was granted a DNA test. She took a vaginal swab of the victim and it was sent off to the (DPS) Department of Public Safety. When DPS received the DNA from the victim they had realized that the male profile did match neither Wiley Fountain nor the victim’s husband. Fountain was realized from prison on a no-cash bond. Wiley Fountain was now a free man.
