A Pennsylvania man faces over 100 felonies, accused of hiding cameras inside a Fayette County home to create sexual abuse material.
PA Attorney General Dave Sunday, says 46-year-old Benjamin Arena of Montgomery County faces 110 charges for the production and possession of child abuse material.
According to investigators, Arena had installed hidden camera at a home in Brownsville, mainly in the bathroom and shower area to record a child. One of the cameras was found by the victim, hidden in a shampoo bottle.
AG Sunday’s office says Arena moved to Montgomery County after the cameras were discovered.
“This is abhorrent conduct that has no place in a civilized society,” Attorney General Dave Sunday said. “Along with our law enforcement partners, our commitment to protect children will not waver, as these are some of the worst crimes imaginable. I thank our partners at Brownsville Police Department and the investigators from our Child Predator Section for a sound investigation that removed this offender from the community.”
Investigators says they have evidence of Arena installing the cameras and retrieving them during a search warrant conducted in 2024.
The case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Child Predator Section.
