According to court documents, the alleged incidents happened in January 2018 and December 2022.

Bahner is well-known in the neighborhood, according to police, where parents would allow children to visit his home to swim in the pool in his backyard.

A judge recently granted Bahner’s motion to reduce his bond, but ordered him not to live with his biological children, to have no contact with his victims, remain on GPS standard monitoring, and be under court-supervised release.

The next court date has not yet been scheduled.
