Thousands of child porn images found at home of Southern Utah man who runs popular YouTube channel

ST. GEORGE — Investigators say they found “thousands upon thousands” of pornographic

images involving children on a storage device belonging to a Kane County man who runs a

popular educational YouTube channel.

When authorities expanded a sting operation conducted earlier this month, they received

information that led them to 64-year-old John Robert Krampf, who was indicted in federal

court Thursday on one count of possession of child pornography and one count of receipt

of child pornography.

In the indictment, prosecutors allege that Krampf “did knowingly possess” material containing

images of child pornography involving children under the age of 12. Additionally, those images

were transported in “interstate and foreign commerce.”

‘SICKO’ SCIENTIST Kids’ YouTube star, 64, ‘found with thousands of disturbing child sex abuse images’

"did knowingly possess"

A YOUTUBE star who runs a science channel for kids was allegedly found with thousands

of disturbing images and videos of children.

The 64-year-old scientist was indicted in federal court on one count of receipt of child

pornography and one count of possession of child pornography last Thursday, according

to reports.

John Robert Krampf, 64, faces serious charges after police found images of child

pornography on his hard drive.

In early September, authorities in Utah were notified about a Craiglist ad that urged

people who are interested in spending time with children to respond via email.

According to ABC4, the sheer volume of responses to the ad prompted authorities to

investigate the case and conducted an aggressive sting operation that led to dozens

of arrests of suspects on suspicion of child trafficking and sexual exploitation charges.

The Happy Scientist whose real name was Robert John Krumpf was arrested in the operation.

Police said Krampf 'had apparently been doing this for a long time'.

Authorities executed a search warrant at Krampf’s residence and found "thousands,

upon thousands, upon thousands" of disturbing images of child pornography in his

hard drives, according to St. George News.

“With 19 hard drives still to go, we knew we had a bigger problem,” Dixie State Police

Chief Blair Barfuss who is cross-deputized to work with the FBI told the news agency.

“So we decided to send everything to the FBI field office and get the US Attorney’s Office involved.”

The indictment against Krampf was filed by Assistant US Attorney Angela Marie

Reddish-Day shortly after.

Krumpf's education videos about science on Youtube are aimed at young children

Chief Blair Barfuss added that the amount of data recovered led investigators to

believe that Krampf “had apparently been doing this for a long time.”

Barfuss said Krampf’s ownership of such an educational channel for children is

“disturbing,” adding that “We found that concerning, to say the least.”

The news agency said Krampf was indicted in federal court on one count of receipt

of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography last Thursday.

Prosecutors allege that Krampf “did knowingly possess” material containing images

of child pornography involving children under the age of 12 and these images were

also transported in “interstate and foreign commerce.”

The minimum federal penalty for the counts Krempf is facing is 5 years in prison.

Chief Barfuss told the Sun Krampf remains in custody at Washington County jail.

Playing with Sand Helps Scientists Study Earthquakes

October 2003 (Volume 12, Number 10)

Playing with Sand Helps Scientists Study Earthquakes

Next time you're at the beach, learn some basic engineering: follow these easy experiments with sand and water to learn how geologists and house builders think about the beach's building blocks.

Sand is composed of tiny grains that react differently depending on the types of physical forces acting on them. If the grains are squeezed, stretched, shaken, or mixed with water, they respond very differently. Dry sand doesn't stick together very well, and can't make steep sandcastle walls. Adding water to sand makes it much easier to build a sandcastle. Water molecules stick together with a kind of molecular glue, called polarity, that also helps the sand grains stick.

But adding vibration changes the sandcastle's sturdiness. Try this yourself: Mix some water and sand on the beach and place a seashell or rock on top of it. Next, pound on the beach about six inches away to simulate an earthquake. If you watch the shell or rock closely, you'll see it slowly sink.

Mixing sand and water together creates what's called a thixotropic mixture: while you mix it, it acts like a fluid. In fact, the more you mix it, the runnier it seems. "When the mixture is sitting still, the combination of friction and water holds everything in place," says Robert Krampf, a geology science educator. "When you vibrate the mixture, the grains move and you lose the friction." Then, the water acts as a lubricant instead of glue, causing the mixture to flow easily. Other thixotropic mixtures include ketchup and quicksand.

You can also dig for water on the beach. "When the level of the water in the sand is equal to the ocean and you dig a hole, you will strike water," says Krampf. Try this yourself: the further from the water's edge you are, the deeper you have to dig to reach water. Engineers have to know how far down water is located in order to dig a well.

During an earthquake, the sand and water in the soil are mixed together and compressed. As the water pressure inside the mixture rises, the ground becomes unstable. "During an earthquake, the soil, sand, and water underneath an above-ground swimming pool could turn from a solid, stable base to a heavy, thick liquid in a process called liquefaction," says Stein Sture, a professor of engineering at the University of Colorado-Boulder. "Liquefaction is strong enough to move a swimming pool."

"By knowing more about the fundamental process of earthquakes, building designs can be improved and existing structures can be made more stable," says Sture. "We now know more about the buildup of the water pressure in the ground than we knew before." Important knowledge like this begins with building castles in the sand.
