Allegheny County Man Sentenced for Child Sexual Abuse
**HARRISBURG, PA** – An Allegheny County man has received a prison sentence ranging from 12 to 30 years for the repeated sexual abuse of two children, committed between 2004 and 2006. Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the sentence on Thursday.
Marc Brown, 67, was sentenced in Allegheny County Court following his guilty plea to charges including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, and endangering the welfare of children. These charges are part of a broader investigation by the 49th Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, which has reviewed testimony relating to various members of Jehovah’s Witnesses accused of child sexual abuse.
Brown was an active member of the congregation at the time of the offenses and abused the children, with whom he was acquainted, on numerous occasions. Testimonies presented during the proceedings confirmed that Brown molested the children, watched them shower, and entered their bedroom at night to assault them.
“This defendant ultimately could not escape accountability for heinous conduct perpetrated years ago, thanks to the hard work of investigators and the grand jurors, and the bravery of the survivors,” stated Attorney General
Pittsburgh Man Arrested; Mother of His Child Charged
**PITTSBURGH, PA** – A Pittsburgh man has been arrested and the mother of his child charged with hindering his apprehension. This announcement was made by Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus.
Marquise Gibson, aged 24, has been a fugitive since last December following the issuance of three bench warrants. These warrants were related to probation violations involving charges such as aggravated assault, receiving stolen property, and firearms violations.
Detectives had information suggesting Gibson was residing at a residence on Maple Avenue in Turtle Creek with 22-year-old Jamara Hall. Two weeks ago, Hall informed detectives he was not present and was instructed to have no contact with Gibson.
On Thursday morning, shortly after 8:00 a.m., detectives returned and breached the front door upon observing movement inside. Gibson was arrested without incident, and Hall was apprehended on a charge of hindering apprehension. Both were subsequently taken to the Allegheny County Jail.

Brooklyn Man Sentenced in Child Sex Trafficking Case
**Brooklyn, NY** – A man from East Flatbush has been sentenced to nine years imprisonment for the rape and sex trafficking of a minor he met via social media. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced the sentence for Kal Kirby, age 45, handed down by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun.
Kirby entered a guilty plea on January 22 to charges of second-degree rape and child sex trafficking. Following his release from prison, he will be subject to five years of post-release supervision and will be required to register as a sex offender.
The case is linked to crimes committed between February and December 2022, when Kirby initially connected with the 13-year-old victim through social networking platforms. During this period, the victim visited Kirby’s residence, where he engaged in sexual acts with the victim and facilitated meetings with other men.
Kirby’s co-defendant, Jordan Shepard Burnham, based in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, faces charges of rape and child endangerment, with his case still in progress. The investigation led by NYPD’s Human Trafficking Squad highlighted communication with Burnham, during which explicit photos and videos were allegedly shared.
Former Brooklyn Teacher Sentenced for Child Exploitation
**Brooklyn, NY** – A former Brooklyn math teacher has been sentenced to seven years in prison following a guilty plea to charges of using a child in a sexual performance and endangering the welfare of children. Winston Nguyen, 38, admitted to persuading teenage students from four independent schools in Brooklyn to send him sexually explicit images. He assumed the persona of a young teen and used Snapchat to engage in sexual conversations with his victims.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced the sentence on Wednesday. The defendant, previously employed at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, must register as a sex offender upon his release. The victims, aged 13 to 15, attended elite schools and were targeted between October 2022 and May 2024.
Nguyen used two Snapchat accounts under the aliases “hunterkristoff” and “haircutbongos” to interact with six children, pretending to be a teenage boy. He sent nude images and videos to his victims and compelled them to send back content of themselves engaged in sexual acts. These accounts were traced to IP addresses linked to Nguyen’s Harlem residence.
The case was investigated by KCDA Detective Investigators along with the District Attorney
