ST. GEORGE — St. George resident Kiley Michelle Kramer, 34, surrendered herself to police at the county jail Wednesday in connection with a police investigation against her. She was then arrested and booked on four misdemeanor charges alleging she had had unlawful sexual contact with two teenage boys in the summer of 2014.
“We were told that she was being investigated,” Kramer’s attorney Douglas D. Terry said, “and she did voluntarily surrender herself but we did not know specifically what the charges were.”
The investigation
The investigation began, St. George Police Sgt. Sam Despain said, when a male juvenile came forward on Jan. 29 and spoke with police regarding a sexual offense.
As a follow-up, St. George Police Detective Choli Ence met and interviewed two juvenile boys, ages 17 and 16, who allegedly had sexual encounters with an adult woman, Ence wrote in his probable cause statement supporting the arrest.
During the interviews, Ence said in the statement, one of the teenage boys told the detective of an incident in the summer of 2014 where they were hanging out with Kramer and she allegedly exposed her breasts to them.
Additionally, Ence said in the statement, the teenage boys followed Kramer into her bedroom and she allowed them to touch her (private parts) and she in turn touched theirs.
During the investigation, Ence also spoke with two juvenile girls who said they were present at the time of the incident, his statement said. The girls confirmed that Kramer had exposed her breasts to them several times, he said, and that the boys had followed Kramer into her bedroom and locked the door.
Surrender and arrest
Based on the interviews, the statement said, Ence called and attempted to speak with Kramer about the alleged incident. Kramer invoked her Miranda rights and stated that she had retained attorney Doug Terry.
On Wednesday, she met Ence at the Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility where she was booked into jail and later released on posting a $7,800 bail bond.
Washington County Attorney Brock Belnap filed charges Thursday in 5th District Court bringing the four counts against Kramer based on Utah’s law specific to unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year old when a defendant is 10 or more years older than the minor at the time of the alleged offense. This misdemeanor statute expressly does not apply in cases where violent acts such as rape, object rape, forcible sodomy or aggravated sexual assault may be involved.
Kramer’s first appearance, an arraignment, is scheduled for Wednesday. She adamantly denies the charges, her attorney said.
“She’s innocent of these charges,” Terry said, “and we intend to aggressively defend against them.”
Persons arrested or charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided by a trier-of-fact.

I’m guessing that those nice young teeny-boppers asked her to pick up some beers for them and when she refused they decided to get retaliation… Either that, or the bishop guilted a confession out of them. Old pedo lady
I like role play…. She can come over to my house
Innocent???
Why don’t you share great news. Not trash sensationalism junk news. Like fast food. Bad for everyone. This girl is innocent until proven guilty. But you will try to mess up lives to make a buck. Try news that will make this town and the world a better place. I try not to judge but your greedy rag is like slipping into darkness. Don’t print this junk and … up people’s lives on if ands and maybes. What possible good are you trying to accomplish? Be amazing and be different. Be positive. Enough of the negative people destroying garbage you write about. The damage you cause is irreparable innocent or guilty. Try writing and living by the 4 Agreements! Do your job and find the positive. Is that to much to ask? YOU can change the world and make this a better place. QUIT SLAMMING INNOCENT PEOPLE NOW!
Ed. ellipsis.
Innocent??? The only way she is innocent is if she wasn’t there and these boys (and girl witnesses) are rallying and lying against her and if that’s the case then I hope st George news prints that too. Why would she be hanging out with teenagers? Is she the koolaid mom?
That’s a BIG responsibility being the judge, jury and prosecutor!
I know, but I’m up for the challenge…I would love to hear the boys we’re lying and set her up, now that’s some good reading, right there.
Ha! So was Hitler!
OMG you said KOOLAID. LOL.!
🙂
that’s quite the cute little rant there…
Shut up already you don’t like what is on this site then go elsewhere
Is St. George news available anywhere else online? I’m not expecting an answer from you, but maybe somebody else knows something.
Spoken, (well actually posted,) like a true idiot. You don’t like seeing your relatives picture on the news? Tell her to keep her child molesting hands to herself, and to keep her shirt buttoned.
I guess she couldn’t find a willing adult, so she decided to go after kids. If she is that hard up, perhaps she should move to Nevada and go professional.
You’re the other idiot now come sit in mommies lap and tell me allllllll about it
Ha ha ha ha ha you got moderated
Why is it okay for a male to show his chest and not a female? Same as a berka? Objectification of women is archaic!
Good grief…you were doing pretty well with your argument until you hit this curve and swerved right into the ditch…
I started to go through the Saint George mugshots, but decided I did not have 2 hours to do so.
Your picture is the first one
