Norman is also classified as a Tier III sex offender, requiring him to register his residence every 90 days for the rest of his life.
Middletown police arrested Norman in September after a mother called police when her daughter returned from a sleepover and said Norman had sexually assaulted her, according to a police report.
On the day of Norman’s arrest, Middletown detectives obtained a search warrant to seize and view images on Norman’s cellphone and laptop computer, according to court documents.
In the affidavit for the search warrant, detectives said Norman confessed to performing a sex act on a minor girl and taking pictures of girls’ breasts.
