PROVO — Seven months after being jailed without bail, former psychologist Robert Virgil Dindinger has pleaded guilty to three of 12 charges involving child exploitation and voyeurism. The plea deal, finalized during a virtual court hearing Monday, includes a recommendation of 364 days in jail and 48 months of probation.

Given Dindinger’s seven months already served, he could be released just months after his sentencing. The Utah Attorney General’s Office did not respond to questions from KSL Investigates about whether it will advocate for credit for time served, which is a common practice. The final sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 21, 2026.
