A former Delaware County fire chief has been convicted on rape and related offenses following a jury trial before Common Pleas Court Judge Mary Alice Brennan.

Brandon Fuller, 30, Glen Mills, was also found guilty of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, terroristic threats and two counts of indecent assault. He was acquitted on one count of unlawful restraint.

The jury began deliberating Wednesday and continued into Friday before rendering a verdict.

Fuller, the former Lower Chichester Fire Company chief, was charged in 2025 after the victim reported that he came to her home on the night of Oct. 4 and forced himself on her.

She told Assistant District Attorney Bryan Barth that she had been dating Fuller for about a year to two years before the rape.

They had an argument Oct. 4 because he wanted her to come with him to a baseball game, but she declined.

Fuller was later apologetic in texts and said he wanted to come over and talk about it. He showed up at her home and she said they talked for a while, but at one point he playfully shoved her aside on his way to her bathroom. She said that was out of character for him.

After using the bathroom in her bedroom, the victim said Fuller began kissing her, but she tried to push him off.

“I got frustrated and told him, ‘You did not come here to have sex with me,’” she said.

The victim said Fuller then told her, “If you keep pushing me away, I’m going to hurt you.”

“I was shocked,” she said. “I wouldn’t expect him to say that.”

She continued trying to push Fuller off, but she said he repeated that he would hurt her if she persisted. She told him to stop and he told her he loved her.

Fuller then pulled her shorts to the side and raped her, she said.

“He was apologizing and trying to hug me and tell me he was sorry and he didn’t want to leave me upset like that,” she said.

She estimated he was in her home for 40 minutes and that the rape had taken about 15 minutes. Fuller got dressed and left, and she went to the police to report him a few hours later, she said.

The victim said Fuller texted and called her repeatedly afterward, begging her to take him back and apologizing or his actions that night.

“I’ll never give up,” he texted at one point. “I’ll never stop.”

The victim also read a text Fuller sent her on Oct. 25 that said, “I’m fully aware you didn’t want to have sex that night and I will forever apologize for taking advantage of that.”

The jury also heard an intercept call the victim participated in with state police in which Fuller again apologized.

Fuller, represented by defense counsel Chris Boggs, said in a subsequent interview with police that he did not recall telling the victim he would hurt her. He said the sex was consensual.

He acknowledged in that interview that the victim was closed off earlier in the night because she was mad at him but said she seemed fine after they talked and he apologized. Fuller said that at one point they were both on her bed and started to have sex, but claimed it was consensual.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 7.

Brennan denied Barth’s motion to revoke bail, though Fuller remains on electronic monitoring.
