Oh it is no problem. The internet makes things easy and basically forever. But you know it wasn’t that hard man. All you had to do was do a google search for his name. You don’t even have to add rape, molest, sexual assault, or any of that.

California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer sent a letter Friday to all district attorneys across the state, advising them to act quickly to comply with the court’s decision. “Immediate motions for dismissal in the interest of justice would be appropriate,” the letter said.
But Lockyer’s office is taking the position that crimes that occurred between Jan. 1, 1988, and Jan. 1, 1994, are still prosecutable, according to Robert Anderson, chief assistant attorney general. That’s because the statute of limitations for some sex crimes against children had been six years. For others, it had been three years.
Crimes that occurred after 1994 were not affected by the Supreme Court’s decision.
Los Angeles Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley has estimated that at least 200 cases in the county may be affected by the ruling. But determining which cases are still viable is a slow process, officials said.
[b]In San Mateo County, Deputy Dist. Atty. Rick Good said having to call the victims was even more upsetting than the news of the ruling.
On Thursday, Good phoned a woman who had been sexually abused in the 1970s, when she was 13 years old, by Ramiro Jack Long, a Redwood City karate teacher. Good told her that Long, convicted by a jury and expected to serve at least 16 years, would instead be released.
“She was devastated,” Good said.
The victim, now in her 40s, told Good she feared that Long might now come after her. She wanted to know when he would be released, saying that she planned to move.[/b]
