KUTV — A Kane County man, known on YouTube as 'The Happy Scientist,' was arrested on 10 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after investigators reportedly found “thousands upon thousands” of pornographic images involving children.
John Robert Krampf, 64, was charged earlier this month after a search warrant was served by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force at his Kanab home in relation to possessing child abuse material.
Krampf was indicted in federal court on Thursday on one count of possession of child pornography and one count of receipt of child pornography.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, Krampf admitted to using multiple online file-sharing programs to download images of child abuse material, with his most recently downloaded content occurring August 2020.
Review of computers and electronic storage devices by investigators resulted in thousands of images and videos of child abuse materials, the PC statement said.
In an article by St. George News, the amount of data recovered led investigators to believe that Krampf “had apparently been doing this for a long time.”
Also, as reported by St. George News, investigators learned that Krampf produced a number of educational videos for school-age children relating to various science subjects on YouTube.
The collection of videos, titled “The Happy Scientist,” is narrated by Krampf. One of the videos called, "Slippery Squirrel," was viewed more than 3.3 million times.
Krampf is scheduled to appear via video in U.S. District Court in St. George before Magistrate Judge Paul Kohler on Monday.

FFS...This sicko has been a children's educator for almost thirty+ years. Something tells me there are going to be a mountain of victims coming forward soon.
