New Document Obtained By BocaNewsNow.com. Ex-Public School Teacher Remains Jailed.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The charges against former Palm Beach County School District instructor Norman Riemer have been amended and are now listed as “life felonies.” The document obtained by BocaNewsNow.com was filed as a bond hearing was set to be held. The hearing, set for late last week, was canceled. Riemer remains in the Palm Beach County Jail.
As BocaNewsNow.com was first to report hours after his arrest and booking in April, Riemer is accused of repeatedly molesting two young girls who were frequently in the Lake Worth home that he shares with his wife, now former West Boca Raton Whispering Pines Elementary School Principal Barbara Riemer. Norman Riemer, 54, allegedly told the girls that they should touch him as part of a science experiment. The State Attorney’s Office wrote this in amending the charges:

(LIFE FEL).
Norman Riemer’s Defense Attorneys, Michelle Suskauer and Tyler DiMaio, have declined to comment on the case. Barbara Riemer took a leave of absence from Whispering Pines Elementary shortly after Norman’s arrest. She did not return to the school.
