The feds filed new criminal charges against former WCSG radio host John Balyo for taking sexually explicit photos of a 12-year-old boy. According to Channel 13 in Grand Rapids, Baylo has been charged with sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography. The felony information accuses Balyo of enticing or coercing the boy to engage in sexually explicit conduct in Kalamazoo County on April 19.
