The documents are arrest and search warrants that had been sealed. The Times said it filed a motion last month in Alameda County Superior Court to have the documents unsealed. The documents redact names and other details that might identify the molestation victim. The Times did not include the documents on its web site when it published its article Thursday.
A Sacramento attorney, Bob Wilson, told the Times that he represents multiple victims of Izumizaki. He said the police investigation of the case has not concluded. Police would not comment.
