Paul A. Kraft has been charged with two counts of rape and one count of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, according to Cincinnati TV station WLWT.

Kraft, 31, is being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center on suicide watch. His bond was set Wednesday at $750,000.

Kraft faces up to 28 years in prison if convicted.

A tip from the Secret Service resulted in Kraft's arrest, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Undercover Secret Service agents said they made contact with Kraft in a sex site chat room.

They said Kraft told them they could watch him have sex with a 3-year-old live on the Internet.

Secret Service and local authorities arrested Kraft at his home Tuesday night and executed a search warrant on his home and computer. Police said they were able to stop the broadcast before it occurred.

Investigators are continuing to examine the computer, Longnecker reported.

A woman who lived with Kraft said she has had five children with him, ages 6 to infant. She said social services arrived to take the children Wednesday morning, but refused to say why.
