Hi Chris,
I think it's quite possible - initially, I had speculated that the fifteen-year prisoner might have been James Crick, who was convicted of rape at the Central Criminal Court in December 1889, but his modus operandi seems to have been very boat-oriented, and it's difficult to believe that the police might have thought him to have been Jack the Ripper. I'd post something up here - the case was reported in the newspapers, and is worth reading - but I appear to have exceeded my allocation on the server.
Regards,
Mark
