Back on Jan 15, 2020, authorities said he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl as she walked home from school in north Houston. The following day, the DA's office said Kroll sexually assaulted a woman inside an elevator at an H-E-B in the Heights. 

Officials said he pleaded guilty so will not be able to appeal the conviction or prison sentences, which will run concurrently.

The 33-year-old also had a previous criminal history, where he was convicted for indecent exposure with a child in an unrelated 2015 case. He served two years in prison for that and at the time of his arrest in 2020, failed to register as a sex offender.
