was an LDS church member in McCammon, Idaho; accused of sexual abuse; convicted in 2006; sentenced to 33 days in jail; as of 2023, is a registered sex offender living in Idaho

Case report

Robert Thomas Bunker was an LDS member in McCammon, Idaho.

A victim’s family member told FLOODLIT that Bunker sexually abused three minors when he was a 14- or 15-year-old in 2004 to 2005.

The family member asked not to be identified by name.

A restraining order was placed against Bunker because he continued to be around a victim at church serving the sacrament, the family member said.

Bunker was convicted in 2006 of lewd conduct with a minor child under the age of 16.

As of 2023, he is a registered sex offender in Idaho.

In 2009 Bunker pleaded guilty of Contempt of Court charge, presumably for violating the terms of his probation.

He was ordered to serve 33 days in jail for this offense.

FLOODLIT recognizes Bunker was a minor when he committed these sex abuse crimes.

However, since Bunker is an adult and a judge decided to keep him as a registered sex offender, we feel it is appropriate to list Bunker in our database.
