	Kitsap County, WA, Pastor Appears in Court Associated Press, carried in The Columbian October 30, 2007 http://www.columbian.com/news/state/APStories/AP10302007news223733.cfm PORT ORCHARD, Wash. — A 60-year-old pastor who was jailed this week for investigation of two counts of second-degree child rape has made his first appearance in Kitsap County Superior Court in Port Orchard. Two more girls ... one a 10-year-old ... have come forward accusing Robbin Leeroy Harper of sexual abuse. Court documents say Harper is accused by a total of seven females who say he molested or raped them sometime between 1995 and 2006, when they were as young as 7. Harper appeared before Judge Leila Mills today. He turned himself in yesterday. Kitsap County Deputy Prosecutor Kelly Montgomery told Mills there is "the potential for more victims" and called Harper a flight risk in asking the judge to keep his bail at $500,000. The judge agreed, keeping Harper's bail at $500,000, where it was set yesterday. Prosecutors plan to file formal charges against Harper on Thursday. The investigation of Harper began last week when one of his alleged victims, now an adult, called 911 to report a sex offense.
