Pixabay / File MANILA, Philippines — The U.S. District Court in Tacoma sentenced a former active-duty US soldier to 22 years in prison after he admitted to his involvement in the sexual abuse of children and in the production of child pornography in the Philippines. Former Staff Sergeant Moeun Yoeun, a 40-year-old from Steilacoom in Washington, was previously stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. He admitted to producing explicit material featuring over a dozen children “over the course of several years.” Yoeun also flew to the Philippines and paid “nominal amounts of money” to abuse and exploit at least six kids. A press statement from the US Attorney’s Office at the Western District of Washington said Yoeun would go as far as threatening to kill young girls whenever they refused the abuse.
