VIGO COUNTY, Ind. — A Fontanet man charged with neglect in the death of a malnourished 9-year-old boy with cerebral palsy has been sentenced to eight years in prison and four years probation. 

58 year old Hubert Kraemer was sentenced Friday after he pleaded guilty to neglect charges. 

The boy, Cameron Hoopingarner, was blind and weighed less than 15 pounds when officers found him in February 2017 at the family’s home.

 

The boy’s primary caregiver was Kraemer’s wife, Robin Kraemer.

 

She was convicted in 2017 and sentenced to prison. 

The Creamers’ adult son and his girlfriend earlier entered guilty pleas.
