CINCINNATI -- Prosecutors released new information Tuesday about a man accused of raping a 3-year-old child on the Internet.
Investigators said Paul A. Kraft, 31, raped a 3-year-old girl at least five times and broadcast the rape live on the Internet at least twice, News 5 Emily Longnecker reported.
Kraft was indicted Tuesday on five counts of rape and 12 counts of pandering sexually-oriented matter with a minor.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he wishes he could give Kraft the death penalty.
"Unfortunately, we can't seek the death penalty," Deters said. "This kind of Internet stuff (is) the kind of stuff you'd expect to see in southeast Asia, but it happened in Hamilton County, Ohio," he said.
Deters did not hold his tongue when he spoke to News 5 Tuesday.
"Just when you think (you've seen) the lowest point of human depravity, someone like Paul Kraft comes along," he said. "There's a lot of perverted scum out there."
Police said last week an undercover Secret Service agent met Kraft in an online chat room called pre-teen, baby and toddler sex.
According to the agent, Kraft offered to rape a 3-year-old live on the Internet if another person would do the same so Kraft could watch.
The undercover agent contacted Hamilton County sheriff's deputies, who went to Kraft's home, questioned and arrested him.
Investigators are still examining Kraft's computer. They said they've found child pornography on the hard drive.
Kraft is facing a life sentence without parole for each of the rape counts.
"Our goal is to make sure (he) never (does) this to another child," Deters said.

I don't think he deserves the death penalty, that'd be like doing him a favor.
He rather deserves to be sent to be jail and be raped by extremely muscular criminals who are 6'-4" tall who beat the shit out of him every single day. I suggest let the sad bastard starve to death and allow him only to eat his jail mates' feces.
Screw Amnesty International, when it comes to assholes like this one, they deserve the worst kind of punishment possible.

the Prosecutor wants the death penalty but I guess he isn't allowed to ask. He will get life in prison though if all goes well for this conviction. Rapists usually get life in prison in the States, but rapists whose crimes are against children don't live very long in prison. Once he gets in prison I have no doubt his fellow inmates will give him proper justice. He'll suffer very nicely.
He will have a swell time in prison. I heard on 19 news this morning that the girl was his Daughter.
His anus will be the size of a subway tunnel by the time he dies in the pokey. Death would not be good enough for this fucker...

I agree Buddy. I was wondering who the little girl was and how he had access to her. Channel 5 hasn't said how they are in common.
He'll be torturted in prison but he'll eventually be killed by other inmates.

This fills me with such sadness and rage. The physical and emotional damage inflicted upon this innocent child, by the very person who should love her the most, and protect her from all thats bad in the world. Her daddy.
I hope there is a special place in hell for this man.

what are the prisons like in America? cos in England, people commit crimes just so they go to prison and therefore actually have somewhere to stay, more like a hotel than a prison- so they're not on the streets without food. if this is the case, i think the death penalty should apply here.
its still sickening though

I can't really find the words to express the extreme anger and sadness I feel after reading that. It's difficult to imagine someone could be so cruel.
I'm speechless...

Prisons in America are as close to hell as possible. There are a small group of people in America that think prison life in America is cruel and unusual and they sue and advocate for murderers, child molestors, rapists, etc. I think the punishments for the most part fit the crime. There are different levels of prisons in America. Maximum security, Medium security, and low security. As can be expected, the higer the security level the worse the prison conditions are. The lower the level of security the prisoners might have more privaledges like weight lifting, TV, visitors, games, etc. The security level is set according to the crime and danger potential of the prisoner.
There is a sheriff in an Arizona county that makes his prisoners wear pink prison uniforms, pink socks, and pink boxers. The only food they are served is water and bread. They sleep in tents outdoors in tempatures in excess of 105 F where mosquitos eat their flesh. They do manual labor for atleast 8 hours per day. He says that if our military can live in these situations so can a criminal. Unfortunately some people are against his ways. I think his system is justified and suitable. Crime has come down in his county by almost 45%!!! Numbers don't lie!!!
