The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is looking for anyone who might have been victimized by a man they arrested on suspicion of sexual exploitation of a child in February, according to a news release.
Mauricio Matestic, 19, was arrested after deputies investigating illegal firearms sales in February found Matestic with “multiple images and videos of child pornography,” officials said.
Matestic was booked into the El Paso County jail, where he remains in custody pending additional charges, the agency said.
“We are actively seeking additional information involving criminal information, including potential unreported incidences involving the suspect,” the release stated.
Matestic likely met some of his victims on Snapchat, officials alleged.
Worries that potential co-conspirators in the murder of Colorado Corrections chief Tom Clements escaped criminal charges prompted the office of former Gov. John Hickenlooper to push corrections officials to hire a retired FBI agent to review the case and state policies, records and interviews show.
The retired agent submitted his findings to the state in August 2018, but his report has never been shared with the public despite the state paying his firm nearly $40,000. The handling of the case has long been a source of contention in El Paso County. Critics maintain El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder and El Paso County District Attorney Dan May mishandled aspects of the case.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help in finding a 26-year-old intellectually disabled man with a history of wandering off.
Vincent Morton is 5 foot 11 inches, 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, according to the Sheriff’s Office. He was last seen Thursday at about 7 p.m. in the 1500 block of Maxwell Street, near South Academy Boulevard, wearing a red and black jacket, red plaid pajama-style pants and white tennis shoes.
Morton has a history of running away, officials said, but he usually only goes missing for a few hours.
