A 27-year-old Marshfield man is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly tying a young girl up with duct tape and assaulting her on multiple occasions, then photographing the assaults.
Matthew E. Kinas is wanted on charges of first-degree sexual assault of a child, sexual exploitation of a child, exposing a child to harmful material, possession of child pornography and causing mental health to a child. Police ay the alleged assaults happened in late 2018.
An investigation launched after a witness reported discovering the images on Kinas’ Google Drive account, according to the criminal complaint. Both photos and video files were located by investigators and involved a child who was between 5 and 6 years old at the time of the alleged assaults. Another image file involved a child that was 11 years old at the time the photo was taken. Police say Kinas was not a stranger to the children he allegedly assaulted.
On Feb. 23, Circuit Judge Scott Corbett issued a warrant for Kinas’ arrest. Kinas has no prior criminal history in Wisconsin, according to court documents.
