Oh and fwiw I'm with stones on this! There is no evidence is sex trafficking in this case...and I'm surprised at how many really don't understand state laws or civics on a crime board. Yes open several tabs google is your friend. Link to his prior record please. Last name Mathew.....not Mathews. I see no prior arrest record for him. Link to any violence or hatred of women of exs coming fwd. Do we even know if he is a straight male? These r the questions we should b asking.....this in no way is a case to start posting WE got him, it's a witch hunt I request this stops until DNA evidence is in or trial. Nothing on record to show he is someone who has to rape kill and defile in order to receive sex. There r so many questions NOT being asked here that I figuratively slap a few wrists. And offer caution.
You're spelling his last name wrong as well. It's Mat
thew.
And his record has been posted here multiple times showing other charges, including an assault - which was physical, so that applies to your question about violence I would think?
It has been described in depth by the victim of the assault, who is now a lawyer, and had no idea that JM from now is the same person who assault him until he was speaking with a reporter after discussing the incident from 2009.
The assault charges were dropped, but the victim had only pressed charges, really, to make sure his medical expenses were covered. Which they were.
He expressed concern about JM's well-being at that point, feeling he was depressed and actually suspected he was suicidal based on what had gone on/their interactions.
As a result, and that
at the point he was interviewed that CPD hadn't brought up the abduction and intent to defile and indicated they didn't have evidence [at the time of his interview about the assault] to even be sure anything had happened to Hannah or that JM was involved, he didn't want to be videoed and possibly be involved with a witchhunt of someone, who at the time hadn't been charged with anything in Hannah's case.
Here's
a link to the audio regarding the assault and a full transcription of it - it's been posted here before and was posted in the Media No Discussion thread Tuesday AM also.
Here's
an article from NBC mentioning more of his history and what's in his criminal record.
Jesse Matthew, 32, a patient technician in the operating room at the university's medical center, has a history of serious charges assault, grand larceny, possession of stolen property and trespassing as well as a host of traffic infractions.
Legal records show Matthew was charged with assault and attempted grand larceny in Virginia in 2009, but the charges were dropped. The charges stemmed from an incident in June of that year, where Matthew was accused of assault while attempting to steal a cell phone, NBC affiliate WSLS in Virginia reported. He was then charged and convicted of trespassing in 2010. And in 2012, he faced a possession of stolen property charge; that charge was dropped as well. The circumstances surrounding those charges were not clear from the court records. Matthew also has several traffic infractions listed on his record.
In at least been stated by his grandmother that he has a long-term girlfriend, but it's in the Daily Mail. Of course others have printed it and referenced it both on air and in print, but they were the ones who stated it after their apparent interview with his grandmother.
However, it's also been verified by several longtime WSers here also. But as they're not tied in a way that is something that falls into the 'verified insider' category anymore, so you can take or leave that in terms of whether it carries any significance for you.
But several have been members here for over a year - and one over four years - here and also posting. For me, at least, that certainly carries weight.
His grandmother, Mrs Carr, says she instantly recognized her grandson LJ when she watched the video tape released by police investigating Hannahs disappearance.
<snip>
I practically raised LJ,' Mrs Carr added. 'His mom was working and I looked after him and his sister, Nicky.
He had a live-in girlfriend but I dont know what happened. They lived together at his apartment.'
Mrs Carr said she last saw her grandson on Thursday, when he visited her house along with his mother.
