A 39-year-old Scottsbluff man is facing charges for a series of alleged sexual assaults of a young girl that took place over a period of several years.
Christopher Matthews is charged with felony Third Degree Sexual Assault of a Child, and Intentional Child Abuse without injury following an investigation that started in Feb. 2020.
According to Scottsbluff Police investigators, the victim said during a CAPStone forensic interview that Matthews starting touching her inappropriately when she was six years old, and the assaults continued periodically until she was nearly twelve.
Authorities were unable to locate Matthews for an interview last June, but he was apprehended in Red Willow County this week on a warrant issued in April, and is expected to make an initial appearance in Scotts Bluff County Court today.
