Kevin Kramarski fought the original charges for 4 years. Then, prosecutors levied new allegations against him.
MOORESTOWN, NJ — A Moorestown man facing multiple sets of child pornography charges pleaded guilty on Friday to distributing the illegal material, according to court documents Patch obtained.
Under the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a four-year prison sentence for Kevin T. Kramarski. He also must register as a sex offender and undergo parole supervision for life once he's released.
Kramarski, 28, has been charged multiple times with child pornography offenses — first in 2021 and again last month.
Criminal proceedings remain underway for his recent charges in which prosecutors accused him of sharing child pornography, asking an underage girl to send him nude photos of herself, and violating the terms of his release from jail.
Kramarski has a pre-indictment conference scheduled for June 18, according to court records. But sentencing under the plea deal is set for July 25.

On Friday, Kramarski pleaded guilty to one of the charges from 2021, which also appeared on an indictment filed last September.
The offense — second-degree distribution of child sex abuse material (CSAM) — carries a maximum prison term of 10 years.
In the plea deal, prosecutors agreed to recommend a four-year sentence to the judge. They will also drop the other three charges in the indictment, including first-degree manufacturing of CSAM.
Kramarski has been jailed since April 23, according to court records.
His attorney declined to comment when Patch contacted him in April.
The Accusations Against Kramarski
In January 2020, Kramarski had sexually explicit conversations with a 17-year-old girl and encouraged her to send him sexually explicit photos and videos, according to court documents on his initial charges.
Over the next year, he distributed at least 25 items containing child pornography and possessed or viewed between 100 and 1,000 items with such material, authorities said.
Kramarski was first charged in early 2021 and indicted this past September.
He was charged by indictment with manufacturing child sex abuse material (first-degree), distributing child sex abuse material (second-degree), impairing of debauching the morals of a child (third-degree), and possession of child sex abuse material (fourth-degree).
But the recent set of allegations complicated things.
In May 2023, Kramarski was released from custody stemming from the prior charges, with pretrial conditions. As part of his release terms, Kramarski was prohibited from unsupervised contact with minors and internet usage outside of work or school.
Additionally, any new charges would send him back to jail.
Last July, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office received a cyber tip alleging that a user on the Kik Messenger app had shared child pornography. The IP address associated with the account linked back to Kramarski's address, according to the affidavit into his recent arrest.
Authorities issued communication-data warrants for the user, who went by the username matt00062 on Kik. A sexually explicit photo containing a prepubescent girl was found, the affidavit says.
The user — later identified as Kramarski — chatted with an underage girl on the app and asked her for nude photos, according to court documents. He also asked another user for "little girl w older guy stuff" and asked for samples "to see if it's worth buying," the affidavit says.
On this account, the user also uploaded multiple selfies that resembled Kramarski's ID photo, officials said.
Authorities executed a knock-and-announce search warrant at Kramarski's home on March 18. They found his phone, which contained accounts on various social-media apps, the affidavit says.
Multiple electronic devices were confiscated, according to the prosecutor's office, which is examining their contents.
Kramarski was charged Wednesday with possession of child sexual abuse material with intent to distribute (second-degree), distribution of child sexual abuse material (second-degree), possession of child sexual abuse material (third-degree) and contempt of court (fourth-degree).
The plea bargain has no direct impact on the new charges, and Kramarski has not submitted a plea in the case.
