KYLE — On Dec. 12, the Hays County Sheriff’s Office received a referral from Child Protective Services (CPS) in reference to a child sex assault victim in Kyle.
Detectives initiated an investigation which produced evidence that led to warrants being issued for 20-year-old Keshawn Kyle French-Burton for sexual assault of a child and trafficking of persons.
French-Burton was also arrested by Austin Police officers for three counts of sexual assault of a child. Over the course of the investigation, HCSO detectives learned that the suspect would message his victims through Snapchat and convince them to meet with him in person, where he would then allegedly sexually assault them, according to a HCSO news release.
