Convicted Canton Child Molestor Gets 30-60 Years in Prison

Canton resident Robert Carl Kahler was sentenced to 30-60 years in court Wednesday for sexually assaulting a girl in his neighborhood when she was 9 years old, according to an article in the Observer & Eccentric.

Kahler, 57, was arraigned on the charges back in 2011 and found guilty by a Wayne County Circuit Court jury this February.

Kahler was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual conduct and 10-15 years in prison for second-degree criminal sexual conduct, according to the Observer & Eccentric.

“Our entire family is very grateful that this is all over and we finally got justice,” the victim’s mother said in an email to the Canton Observer.
