Police reports obtained by Action News Jax said abuse didn’t happen at first, for a few years. But he began spending more time alone with the victim. The reports said at some point Norton brought a massage table which he stored near his daughter’s closet. One time the two were together, he asked the victim if they wanted a massage and the report said they agreed. But what happened after is heavily redacted.

It later said after the family would leave, Norton would set up the massage table in the living room.

Action News Jax Ben Ryan spoke with Dr. Lynn Wadleton, a child psychologist, who said these situations are difficult to cope with for the alleged victims.

“Some people have anger. Some people have hatred. Some people have love and a lot of confusion and mixed feelings because the relationship had apparently positive things in it in order for it to have developed into something that was abusive and that’s grooming him,” Dr. Wadleton said.

The new charges come after one of the original alleged incidents involving Norton happened at the Oakhill Church of the Nazarene. And there were at least 2 formal complaints made about him during his time as a nurse at Wolfson Children’s Hospital -- one that led to Norton being forced out in 2008.
