Plaintiff-Appellee,
vs.
PAUL KRAFT,
Defendant-Appellant.
Criminal Appeal From: Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas
Judgment Appealed From Is: Affirmed
Date of Judgment Entry on Appeal: May 11, 2007
snip
{¶15} Prior to trial, Kraft moved to dismiss all the pandering counts, claiming
that the pandering statute, R.C. 2907.322, was unconstitutionally overbroad and vague.
The trial court overruled Kraft’s motion. After a bench trial, the trial court convicted
Kraft on all 17 counts and adjudicated him a sexual predator. The court then sentenced
Kraft to a term of life imprisonment for each rape and to eight years of imprisonment for
each pandering offense. The court ordered that Kraft serve the terms consecutively.

Robin Kraft, 26, pleaded guilty in June to two charges of rape and four counts of child endangerment in what was possibly the most horrific and disturbing case of sexual abuse in American history. When Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge David Davis handed down his sentence, the maximum term of 40 years in prison, he said that Robin Kraft should not be released from prison while she can still bear children.

Robin is not in the DOC system. I read that at one point she was deemed incompetent to stand trial. Apparently, she was brought to competency in order to plead guilty. I suspect she is again mentally incompetent and is possibly in a mental hospital. Her court documents are sealed, which also leads me to believe this. I cannot see another reason for her documents to be sealed. Does anyone have another suggestion for why her files would be sealed? Since there is no clear paper trail here, I'm more or less guessing on this.
