How to resolve AdBlock issue? Jeffery Scott Cramer, 59, entered the no contest plea to felony possession of child pornography on Tuesday, a day after he had been set to go to preliminary hearing, said District Attorney Susan Krones.
Cramer’s attorney, Jane Gaskell of Santa Rosa, declined comment on the case when contacted by Lake County News.
Lake County Sheriff’s detectives arrested Cramer in May as the result of an investigation spanning several months.
Detectives served search warrants at Main Street Bicycles – which Cramer owned at that time – and at a residence on Seventh Street in Lakeport in May, seizing digital devices from both locations, as Lake County News has reported.
The sheriff’s office reported that detectives were able to identify social media accounts associated with Cramer that had been used to upload child pornography on at least five occasions between August 2019 and February 2020.
Cramer has been a coach for high school mountain biking teams at Clear Lake and Kelseyville high schools, but authorities said the case was not linked to his involvement with the schools.
Krones said that the prosecution and defense agreed to Cramer serving felony probation due to his lack of a prior criminal record.
She said the term of the probation is two years. As of Jan. 1, a new law limits felony probation to two years except in limited circumstances pursuant to Penal Code 1203.1.
In addition, Cramer is facing a jail sentence. Krones said it will be up to a judge to determine the amount of jail time, up to 364 days local jail.
“He will participate in a 52-week sex offender counseling program starting when he completes any jail time imposed,” said Krones. “He will be required to register for his lifetime.”
Krones said Cramer will be sentenced at 3 p.m. May 10.
On March 6, Main Street Bicycles reported on its Facebook page that it is now under new ownership.
