Pittsburgh-Area Man Gets Prison Term For Sexually Exploiting Minor

PITTSBURGH, PA — A Cheswick man has been sentenced in federal court to 20 years in prison and 15 years of supervised release after being convicted of receiving material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh said that U.S. District Judge Marilyn J. Horan imposed the sentence on Cam John Zmenkowski, 28.

During online chats from August 2022 through September 2022, Zmenkowski induced a minor to send him nude and sexually explicit images and videos that law enforcement recovered from Zmenkowski's personal cell phone.

Participating in the investigation was the Federal Bureau of Investigation-Pittsburgh and FBI Pittsburgh Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, including the Allegheny County Police Department and Sharpsburg Police Department.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
