CINCINNATI -- Police say a Cincinnati man raped a 3-year-old girl and broadcast it live on the Internet, according to Cincinnati TV station WLWT.
Paul A. Kraft was arrested Tuesday night and charged with two counts of rape and one count of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor
Kraft, 31, is being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center. His bond was set Wednesday at $750,000. Kraft faces up to 28 years in prison if convicted.
A tip from the Secret Service to the Regional Electronic and Computer Investigations Unit resulted in Kraft's arrest, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Undercover Secret Service agents said they made contact with Kraft in a sex site chat room.
They said Kraft told them they could watch him have sex with a 3-year-old old live on the Internet.
Secret Service and local authorities arrested Kraft at his home Tuesday night and executed a search warrant on his home and computer. Investigators are continuing to examine the computer.

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.
COULD get 28 years?
I'm with you,
I want to know about her and how she is doing now.
Mostly, how in the he!! did a child end up near this monster.
A millstone will be put aroun his neck, if anyone harms My Little ones. Where was her mother? Why was he in contact with the child? There is more to this story. Was it actually on the internet? Unblievable!
OH MY GOD!!! The thought of him broadcasting his raping of a three year old makes me nauseus... there are those who need to be taken into a field somewhere by their victim's family, and frankly just allow them to do whatever they want. i don't care if they want to chop this m'fer up into pieces, let 'em!! what a sick f*ck!!!!
I fear that he is part of the victim's family.
He'll end up like Jeffrey Dahmer; some other jailed freak will wait for the chance and slaughter him
I apologize for my ignorance, what is the main difference between a bond and a bail??
I second.
With all proceeds going into a trust fund for his victims.
Oh, that would be most unfortunate...
I'd much rather the prisoners enjoy his company for a good 10 to 20 years...
Maybe cut off minor body parts and cauterize the wounds. Give him plenty of amphetamines so he is aware of it all.Did you read "Hannibal"? I think the idea with the wild pigs would be appropriate.
Hook him up to a blood transfusion, pump him full of amphetamines, and ring the dinner bell.
I just wanted to be one of the first Freepers to make a gross generalization about an entire State because of one story. I missed my opportunity in the "17-Year-Old Foster Child Weighing 49 Pounds Found In 'Cage'" thread.
Old Vlad the Impaler had a neat method. Tie the guy's hands and feet, Sit him on a sharp spike and then slowly lower the floor or raise the spike about a quater of an inch an hour for 3 days.
Assuming he were to survive prison and be released, (not that ever being released, alive anyway, should even be an option) someone with a rifle needs to make sure he doesn't clear the front gate.
Child rape should warrant a federally mandated death sentence.
