PITTSBURGH, PA – Alleghenty County Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus announced today that Kierran Young, 30, has been arrested on charges of rape and sexual assault.
Young is accused of assaulting and raping a woman in a Penn Avenue residence in October of the previous year. Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office developed information that Young was located at a residence on East Marshall Avenue on the Northside.
When they arrived at the residence, police initially believed there was nobody at the home.
Upon their return later in the afternoon, they determined someone was inside.
After hearing noises from inside the residence but receiving no response, detectives made a forced entry and identified themselves. During a sweep of the residence, Young emerged from a bedroom and was arrested without incident. Sheriff Kraus emphasized that all arrest warrants involving sexual offenses are a top priority for his office and expressed satisfaction with the quick resolution of this case.
