Florida man charged with taping himself molesting children
Posted April 7th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.sun-sentinel.comMatthew Kent Sheley of Hollywood, Florida, has been arrested for child molestation after police found hundreds of graphic videotapes in his apartment, several of which police allege show Sheley molesting two children.
Investigators on Sunday released images of a little girl’s handcuffed arm bearing a distinctive birthmark. It was taken, police said, from a videotape of her being molested by a South Broward man. Police hope someone will recognize the images and contact them, police spokesman Andrew Casper said.
Detectives also said videotapes indicate a second child was abused by the same suspect, Matthew Kent Sheley, 36, Casper said. There is no identifying description yet of the second child.
Police arrested Sheley on Friday in Hollywood on one count of sexual performance by a child after investigators saw the first girl on a videotape found in Sheley’s former residence in Hallandale Beach, Casper said. Detectives have since reviewed other tapes uncovered and said one more girl was forced to perform sexual acts on camera.
“We’re still trying to get more victims,” Casper said. “He’s been transient in South Florida for 10 years. He’s probably left behind a lot of victims. We don’t know what we’re going to find.”
