Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard A. Resnick, who is handling
the case, stated that between February 2018 and March 19, 2018, the defendant
and co-defendant Bonnie Hughes sexually abused a 10-year-old girl. During that
time, Kohlmeier and Hughes together engaged in illegal sexual contact with the
minor victim on numerous occasions. These instances of abuse occurred at 130
Milford Street in Rochester, always with Hughes present and, in some instances,
participating.
Hughes took two sexually explicit pictures of the minor
victim using the minor victim’s cell phone and sent them to Kohlmeier.
Also between February 2018 and March 19, 2018, the defendant
used a cell phone to entice and attempt to entice the minor victim into have
sexual conduct with the defendant by texting with Hughes. In addition on March
19, 2018, he forced the minor to engage in a sexual act.

investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of
Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert, the Greece Police Department, under the
direction of Chief Patrick D. Phelan, and Monroe County District Attorney’s
Office, under the direction of District Attorney Sandra Doorley. Sentencing is
