In 1998, he was convicted of telephonic harassment in Yamhill County. And in 2001, he was convicted of rape in Multnomah County.

Most recently, Sorrell was accused of assault, harassment and strangulation in 2014. Those charges were dismissed in Multnomah County.

13. Accused Muslim intimidator blames 'my ignorance'

The Gresham man accused of intimidating a Muslim couple broke down after his arraignment Monday, blaming the incident on his "ignorance."

Frederick Nolan Sorrell, 49, was charged with 3 misdemeanors stemming from the May 29 incident in Northeast Portland, just days after the deadly MAX attack.
Sorrell allegedly told the couple to "go back to your f----g country" and used his hand to gesture a trigger being pulled, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.

After his arraignment, Sorrell explained to KOIN 6 News that he's "never seen a burka in Portland before," which scared him.

-- skip --

According to Sorrell, he doesn't know much about the Muslim faith nor had he taken any opportunities in the past to learn more about it.

Sorrell, who described himself as a patriot, said, "My ignorance and my stupidity is why I opened my mouth and I shouldn't have."

In regards to his hand gestures during the incident, Sorrell said he didn't use his hands to make it look like he was pulling a trigger.
He said he uses his hands a lot when he talks. Sorrell also said he didn't own any guns.

Among his previous arrests are convictions for rape and harassment by telephone.
He's also been accused of assault, harassment and strangulation ...

... that our current racist climate (aided greatly by drumpf) is guiding the disturbed to focus on POC and religious minorities more than they would have. Sort of like the crazy guy in our park who is now screaming to the sky about the FBI. Before it was aliens.

His defense would have been more convincing if his attorney had show his urine and poop stained pants. "That's how scared my client was judge!" Of course, when all of his pants are that way...
