Home called 'sexual circus'
Wife also charged with acts involving couple's small children
In March, local authorities arrested Paul Kraft on charges of rape and pandering sexually oriented material after an undercover Secret Service agent said Kraft offered to broadcast himself having sex with his 3-year-old daughter on the Internet.
Today, Kraft's wife, also charged with having sex with the couple's young children, makes her first appearance in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said Paul and Robin Kraft repeatedly sexually abused their children - sons ages 1, 3, 5 and 6 and the 3-year-old's twin sister - over the last year.
"I know this is trite to say this, but nobody around here has ever seen anything like this," Deters said. "The only thing worse they could have done is murder (their children)."
A Hamilton County grand jury indicted Paul Kraft, 31, on 17 charges of rape and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a child. In addition to molestation, Paul Kraft is accused of twice broadcasting sex with the 3-year-old girl online.
A grand jury indicted Robin Kraft, 25, last month on 17 charges, including rape, attempted rape, felonious assault and child endangering. The felonious assault charges do not relate to physical violence, but allege Robin Kraft mentally harmed her children, Deters said. Robin Kraft is being held in the Hamilton County Jail on $200,000 bond.

Investigators learned more about a couple charged with sexually abusing their five children as the children developed the language skills to tell authorities what happened, prosecutors said.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said Paul and Robin Kraft repeatedly sexually abused their four sons and one daughter, ages 1 to 6, over the last year.
Paul Kraft, 31, was arrested in March after an undercover Secret Service agent said Kraft offered to broadcast himself having sex with his 3-year-old daughter online.
Prosecutors said investigators determined Robin Kraft was involved by talking to the children, who had limited language skills when they were placed in foster care when their father was charged.
This went well beyond the initial Internet case, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said. They literally subjected their kids to a sexual circus.
Deters said the felonious assault charges against Robin Kraft allege she mentally harmed her children but do not relate to physical violence.
