"Brimmer was released from prison in 2004 in connection with a 1995 conviction for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14. As the Chronicle reported at the time, Brimmer was a pastor at San Jose's largest church, the 6,000-member Jubilee Christian Center, and he was convicted on 15 counts of molesting boys between the ages of 11 and 16 between 1989 and 1993, some of whom testified against him."
"investigators say that Suresh posed as an accountant going door to door offering his services and that he knocked on several neighbors' doors first, carrying a bag, notebook, and cup of coffee, in order to appear legitimate. When Brimmer answered the knock on his door, Suresh says he briefly spoke with Brimmer and recognized him from the website, telling authorities that he "tried to appear as non-threatening as possible.""
"But, Suresh says, he then dropped what he was carrying and attempted to push his way into Brimmer's home. Brimmer then fled out of the house, running down the street and attempting to flag down a vehicle for help. According to investigators, Brimmer grabbed a rock to try to defend himself as Suresh pulled out a knife and allegedly asked Brimmer if he "believes in God," telling him to "get his last words in.""
