TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — A man charged with neglect in the death of a malnourished 9-year-old boy with cerebral palsy has reached a plea deal in the case.
Under terms of the agreement, 58-year-old Hubert Kraemer will plead guilty to charges of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury.
He is scheduled to appear in Vigo County Court December 8th.
Cameron Hoopingarner was blind and weighed less than 15 pounds when officers found him in February 2017 at the family’s home near Fontanet.
Kraemer’s wife Robin Kraemer, the boy’s primary caregiver, was sentenced to 36 ½ years in prison when she was convicted in September 2017.
The Kraemers’ adult son Chad Kraemer and his girlfriend Sarah Travioli earlier entered guilty pleas.
Chad Kraemer will be released from prison in 2021 and Sarah Travioli will be released next year.
