El Paso Man Arrested For Child Porn Runs Local Estate Sale Company

A man who runs a local estate sale company is sitting in jail accused of possessing child pornography. The owner of El Paso Estate Sales and Appraisals, Jason Matthews, was arrested after being targeted during an Operation Predator investigation. Operation Predator is an international initiative designed to protect children from sexual predators and exploitation.

Matthews’ home on Proud Eagle Drive on the city’s east side was raided last week by federal agents. 547 files of child pornography were downloaded from a device with an IP address to which Matthews was the subscriber last October. The files that were there are so vile that I won’t describe them.

Matthews has been charged with possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of children and receipt and distribution of material involving the sexual exploitation of children. He is being held a the El Paso County jail without bond. I won't link to his Facebook page which is still active because he is a disgusting human being, allegedly, who doesn't deserve to be helped in any way.
