WINTON HILLS - A man is jailed today after federal authorities got a tip that he was offering live footage of him having sex with a 3-year-old girl that could be viewed over the Internet.
Paul A. Kraft, 31, was arrested Tuesday night at his home in the 4900 block of Winneste Avenue. He was charged with pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and two counts of rape. His bond was set this morning at $750,000. He can only get out if he pays that total amount in cash.
The investigation started Tuesday when a Hamilton County Sheriff's detective who works with the department's computer crime unit got information from the U.S. Secret Service in Miami that Kraft was "offering live video via the internet of him participating in sexual conduct with a 3-year-old female,'' according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
With that information, Det. Rick Sweeney got a search warrant for Kraft's house and computer. Officials searched the house late Tuesday. They did not release what they found. Officers also did not disclose the relationship between Kraft and the girl.
If convicted of rape, Kraft could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison each charge. The other charge carries a possible penalty of two to eight years confinement.
The case goes before a grand jury March 18.
It is ridiculous that we have people in for life for growing marijuana plants....and we let child rapists out in a few years.
Ya think this scum will live long enough to get released?
