They've always been around. It just gets reported and pursued now.

Yeah 813... I was kind of thinking the same thing. Makes you wonder what is the other side of the story.

Sometimes people are cognizant of the terrible things they have done. Or maybe he was tired of living in some podunk village in Costa Rica.

@853: because someone at the SO is paid a six digit salary to produce these things that make the department appear as though it functions occasionally.

Maybe he has an expensive illness and wants free treatment. Won't be the first time that has happened.

Ditto maybe there is more to the story... because otherwise, why would he so willingly come back from Costa Rica? Unless the guilt was eating at him. Hmm

It should be illegal to publish this information until there is a conviction. This guys life is now ruined, even if innocent.

Didn't Muhammad marry a six-year-old girl? Apparently they waited three years to consummate their marriage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha

Distict Attorneys do not pursue molestation cases that they are not confident they can successfully prosecute. That said Bail has been Revoked. Trial Setting begins 2/25. Norris has been erroneously affiliated with various religious organizations on the internet. To be clear, he was a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. there are many complaints from Jehovahs Witnesses already about this case. Of course they will attempt to spin this story claiming Norris was not a "Jehovah's Witness". The reality is Norris was a high profile elder in Carpinteria for many years during the time he perpetrated the molestations. Before moving to Costa Rica he "stepped down" from serving as an Elder but still was a very active rank & file JW in the Quepos Congregation. In July 2011, when the victim confronted him with the allegations of abuse, he immediately got on a plane back to Costa Rica fearful of repercussions from Law Enforcement should anyone report to the police.

His wife, his daughter and the Carpinteria Congregation all knew of the abuse but failed to contact authorities. When one estranged parent learned of the abuse 8 months later(victim had become distraught that nothing was being done) law enforcement was immediately contacted and the police investigation began February 2012.
During that time, Norris "disassociated" himself from the Jehovahs Witness Organization via personal letter through the Quepos Congregation. He also separated from his wife. Quepos Elders were at that time aware of the abuse allegations but they too failed to contact authorities. Norris attempted to divert attention from the Jehovahs Witnesses Organization and their culpability for years of allowing him to function unabated as a molester while an Elder in the Carpinteria Congregation. This of course is and was a failed strategy.
