Steve Williams, Atlanta

A: Kramer is being held at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield, Conn., a spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Correction told Q&A on the News. Kramer, 50, is accused of molesting three teenage boys who are now adults in a Gwinnett County case that has awaited trial for more than a decade. He was out on bond when he was arrested Sept. 15 in Milford, Conn., on charges of risk of injury to a child and violating the conditions of his bond by having unsupervised contact with a minor. Kramer resigned from DragonCon, a popular science fiction and fantasy convention, in 2000, but holds 34 percent of the company’s stock.
