(KAIR)--Guilty.
That’s the plea from the Atchison educator charged with child sex crimes.
39-year-old Robert Bulk entered the guilty plea in Atchison County District Court Wednesday.
County Prosecutor Jerry Kuckelman said Bulk accepted A plea bargain resulting in final charges being two counts of sexual exploitation of a child eliminating previous drug charges and other sex crime charges.
Sentencing in the case is set for Jan. 9.
Kuckelman said Bulk is facing a sentence ranging from 31-136 months for each count.
Charges for Bulk stem from incidents with an Atchison teenager.
According to the probable cause affidavit from Atchison County District Court, Bulk began an electronic relationship with the teen back in January. Their communication resulted in $745 that Bulk paid to the teen in exchange for sexual photographs.
During the relationship, investigators say Bulk sent the teen sexual images and videos and requested the male victim to do the same and arranged payment through Paypal.
The illegal communication is said to have occurred between March and June. Court documents say Bulk never engaged in any physical relationship with the teen, but made four requests to do so.
Bulk remains in the Atchison County Jail held on a $100,000 bond.
