On July 25, 2023, Gorman was rearrested in Parkland County for offences relating to his online engagement with the 14-year-old Florida teen and the Palm Beach Sheriff’s investigation. Gorman has been charged with additional counts of child luring, as well as making, transmitting, and possessing child pornography.
“In an era where boundaries can often seem invisible online, our partnerships demonstrate that commitment to justice go beyond international borders. Our collaboration stands as a testament to what can be achieved when agencies unite with a shared vision – ensuring the safety of our children and bringing predators to justice,” said a spokesperson with the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office in a news release.
“Our investigation didn’t stop when our suspect was arrested the May. Our team continued to partner with authorities in Florida and share evidence which ultimately led to these additional charges. We want to assure Albertans that even if investigations extend beyond our borders, we will do whatever it takes to protect children, regardless of their geographical location, and prosecute those who commit these horrific acts,” said Sgt. Kerry Shima, spokesperson for ALERT.
Prior to his time working at Balwin Junior High School, Gorman had worked at multiple daycare facilities in the Edmonton region, including Little Learners in St. Albert in 2021.
Gorman has been released from custody with numerous conditions. He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 14.
