A man and woman living in California have reported to Lawrence Police that their three children, now adults, were touched inappropriately by an acquaintance when they came to Lawrence for visits between January 1976 and January 1990. The suspect is now 66 years old.

The parents told police they learned of the abuse in 2004 but didn’t report it because the statute of limitations had run out. But they said they decided to report the incidents and document the case because the man is appealing a conviction in an unrelated sex crime. Police did not release the suspect’s name or further details about the family involved.
