Former Penn Hills resident charged with child sexual exploitation

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A former Penn Hills resident was indicted by a federal grand jury on child sexual exploitation charges. 

The Department of Justice said 23-year-old Kaung Kyaw used the internet and a cell phone to entice and coerce five minors to engage in sexual activity and produced material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor, which he allegedly gave to someone in Texas. 

Kyaw was charged with coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity, production of material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor and distribution of material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor. 

He was arrested in November of 2021 by the FBI and was detained pending trial.
