On July 18, 2026, the Sheriff’s Office began investigating a complaint that two juvenile sisters, ages 14 and 17, had been touched inappropriately while at Water Country USA. The two sisters stated that they had been approached by an older male multiple times while they were at the park, and he would initiate flirtatious conversations. The 17-year-old victim reported that he touched her on her buttocks, and the 14-year-old victim stated that he stroked her arm. The victims reported this to their mother, who contacted the Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s Office Investigators were able to identify the suspect, and on August 19, 2026, the suspect was arrested in Norfolk, Virginia.
