Kramer reportedly told police that he had driven from Louisville to meet the girl after communicating with her on a messaging app. The two had initially met in person,
and the girl later informed Kramer that she was 13. He allegedly claimed to be 15 and a student at a local high school.
“This wasn’t a misunderstanding,” Ridgell explained. “It was clear from the communication that the girl was underage.”
After being taken into custody, Kramer reportedly admitted to engaging in inappropriate conduct with the girl, which led authorities to file additional serious charges.
Kramer now faces charges including burglary and multiple counts of unlawful contact with a minor. He is currently being held in the Boone County Jail on a $250,000 cash bond.
Court records show a preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 5. As of April 28, no attorney had been listed on his behalf. The investigation remains ongoing.
