Warrenton man pleads not
guilty in peeping Tom case
Bail at $2 million
By Jack Heffernan

A Warrenton man plead-
ed not guilty Monday to 47
counts that allege he watched
and recorded young women
during private moments from
outside their homes.
Kirk Richard Cazee, 55,
was arrested Friday, April 7,
for the numerous alleged in-
cidents at the Surf Pines gat-
ed community. The victims
include four women and one
man, three of whom were
girls younger than 18 years
old at the time
of the record-
ings. Charges
stem from as
early as May
2014 to as late
as Thursday,
Kirk
according to
Richard
court
docu-
Cazee
ments.
The Clatsop County Sher-
iff’s Office has responded
to nine alleged incidents in
connection to the case since
January 2016. Cazee was ar-
rested on two counts of crim-
inal trespass in February after
camera footage revealed he
was allegedly peering into
windows at Surf Pines. He
was later released.
“It’s very much an ongoing
investigation,” Clatsop Coun-
ty District Attorney Josh Mar-
quis said.
The most recent alleged
incidents partially influenced
the timing of Cazee’s arrest,
Marquis said. He also pointed
to preservation of evidence
and growing concerns from
alleged victims’ families as
reasons for the timing.
Charges include numerous
counts of invasion of personal
privacy, using a child in a sex-
ually explicit display, encour-
aging child sex abuse, crimi-
nal trespass and stalking. Bail
has been set at $2 million and
Cazee is scheduled for an ear-
ly resolution conference later
this month.
Cazee is also facing open
investigations in Multnomah
County and through the FBI,
Marquis said at an arraign-
ment Monday. He works part
time as a nurse at a Clackamas
area hospital and has a resi-
dence in southeast Portland.
He previously had no criminal
history in Oregon.
“Sometimes people are
completely shocked by the
persona someone has,” Mar-
quis said.
Velellas are back!
Seaside Signal
NEWPORT — The Or-
egon coastline is again ex-
periencing a “blue tide,”
when beaches are strewn
with an aquamarine layer of
jelly-like organisms. Each
spring, there are innumer-
able bodies of by-the-wind
sailors or Velella velella,
and their strandings are a
regular, but still fascinating
phenomenon on the coast.
Ranging in size from a
few millimeters across to 7
centimeters, these brilliant
blue and purple animals
sometimes wash up on the
beaches in alarming quan-
tities, this “blue tide” poses
far less of a risk to animals
and people than the red va-
riety.
The common name of
OREGON COAST AQUARIUM
Velella velellas, a phenom-
enon in coastal Oregon.
these gelatinous creatures —
by-the-wind sailor — refers
to the clear, triangular sail at
the top of the animal’s body
which catches the wind and
propels it across the sur-
face. Short tentacles hang
from the underside of the
sail. Found in all the world’s
oceans, these animals have
no independent form of
movement and will drift at
the whim of the breeze.
