Accused Of Child Molestation In April. Held For Four Months. Just Released On Bond.
BY: ANDREW COLTON | Editor and Publisher | BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Accused child molester Norman Riemer, a now ex-Palm Beach County School District instructor, is out of the Palm Beach County Jail. Riemer’s been incarcerated since April when he was arrested on multiple counts of molesting children. A judge just set bond at $50,000 after denying bond for four months.
As BocaNewsNow.com was first to report hours after his arrest and booking in April, Norman Riemer is accused of repeatedly molesting two young girls who were frequent visitors to 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 his private part as part of a science experiment. Originally charged with five counts of molestation, the State Attorney’s office ultimately proceeded with two counts — both are life felonies. Read our original reporting here.
