A Virginia attorney is facing a federal charge of sex trafficking of minors, according to court documents unsealed in Alexandria on Thursday.
Prosecutors allege that Matthew, 45, paid at least six girls, ages 16 and 17, for sexual activity between June 2017 and at least September 2019. The allegations come from a Fairfax County Police affidavit connected to the case.
According to the affidavit, he met some of the girls through a website that matches older benefactors with younger companions. Authorities say the girls listed themselves as 18 on the site, but they believe he had reason to know they were minors. Investigators also allege he offered cash and expensive gifts.
An arrest warrant was issued on November 16. Police say the investigation began about six months earlier, after a high school student reported him to authorities in May 2019. Investigators say they later identified girls from at least three different high schools.
A public response from Matthew was not available in the court records at the time of this report. A charge is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
