Prosecutors are pursuing a charge of child pornography against a former Loveland church volunteer who’s already confessed to sexually assaulting a child.
Robert Ernest Kirchhoff, 54, remains in custody with $100,000 bond after District Judge Julie Field denied a reduction request Friday.
Kirchhoff, who volunteered with preteens at Resurrection Fellowship Church until the charges surfaced, is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl he was babysitting after meeting her family through the church.
He admitted the crime to police and said before his arrest he had “no choice but to run,” Deputy District Attorney Greg Biggers said while arguing against bond reduction.
