Judge Paul Kohler Requests a Presentence Investigation Before Sentencing Utah Man for possessing ‘thousands’ of Child Porn Images

ST. GEORGE — The case of a Kane County man indicted in federal court on possession and receipt of child pornography will not go to trial after he entered a guilty plea to the second charge during a hearing held Monday in U.S. District Court.

During a hearing held before Magistrate Judge Paul Kohler in federal court, 65-year-old John Robert Krampf pleaded guilty to one count of receipt of child pornography. Under the terms of the plea agreement, the government agreed to dismiss one count of possession of child pornography in exchange for a guilty plea.

…Moreover, Kohler requested that a presentence investigation be conducted, which generates a report used by the court to fashion an appropriate and fair sentence and is also used by parole officers later assigned to supervise the offender.
