Elementary School Volunteer Busted in Internet Child-Sex Sting: Police

Police arrested a former volunteer for a Central Bucks elementary school during an Internet child-sex sting, according to investigators.

Kurt Krumpholz, 54, is charged with criminal attempt of involuntary deviant sexual intercourse with a minor and other related offenses.

The Bucks County man’s arrest came as the result of an undercover investigation targeting child predators who use the Internet to meet and sexually assault their victims.

The Doylestown man requested to meet with an undercover officer whom he thought was a 14-year-old boy as well as his 13-year-old male friend, according to investigators. Krumpholz had communicated with the undercover officer through the Internet before setting up the meeting, police said.

Krumpholz allegedly planned on performing oral sex on the two boys.

Krumpholz arrived at the Friendly’s Restaurant on West Germantown Pike in East Norriton Township on Jan. 19, according to police. He searched for the two boys he believed he was meeting but left the restaurant when he didn’t find them, investigators said. He was stopped by police officers before he could enter his car however.

Krumpholz was arraigned and remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility on $500,000 cash bail.

Krumpholz had volunteered at Cold Spring Elementary School in Doylestown before the arrest. Officials at the school sent home letters notifying parents and letting them know that Krumpholz passed all backround checks back in 2011.
