Michael Matthews, 66, began abusing the girl — whose relationship to him was not released — when she was around 3 years old, the outlet said.

The alleged abuse came to light in April 2021, while Matthews was living with the girl and her family, BreakingAC says. A napkin that Matthews used to clean himself after raping the girl was found in a trash can in the home, according to the outlet.

Matthews was charged with aggravated sexual assault. Matthews faces life in New Jersey state prison if convicted.
