A Delaware County man was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a child and possessing child pornography.
Matthew Maffei, 41, of Aston Township, Pennsylvania is charged with rape, unlawful sexual contact, and child pornography.
On August 1, police in Middletown, Delaware received a complaint of a possible sexual assault of a 7-year-old child which led to Maffei’s arrest, according to officials. The Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division and Aston Police conducted a search warrant inside Maffei’s home on August 12. During the search, they discovered hundreds of child porn images, according to officials.
Prosecutors told Philly.com some of the photos were of the girl Maffei allegedly sexually assaulted.
Maffei was committed to Delaware County Prison after he failed to post a $250,000 cash bond. He’s awaiting extradition to Delaware for charges obtained by Middletown Police.
