Online predator who was caught by Perverted Justice gets 15 years
Matthew Slagle

Before there were TV shows and YouTube channels dedicated to catching online predators, there was Perverted Justice. They were a volunteer organization that would pose as minors in online chat rooms and try to get predators to either send explicit photos or agree to meet for sex.

39-year-old Matthew Slagle of Muncie, Indiana was caught by Perverted Justice back in 2005 when he allegedly met with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old girl. He was convicted and served time in prison for that offense.

Fast forward to 2019, and Slagle has once again been arrested for allegedly trying to meet a minor for sex. This time, he was caught in a police sting after allegedly trying to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex. Slagle has been charged with child solicitation and has also had his probation revoked from a prior conviction.

Also noteworthy is that Slagle’s bond was raised to $75,000 after prosecutors revealed his prior record.
