CORVALLIS, Ore. (KMTR) -- 30-year-old Matthew Rader was scheduled for a court hearing this morning but it was rescheduled for later this month.

The investigation started in December. Police say a detective logged onto the girl's Facebook account, posing as the victim to get more information.

Rader responded by asking for nude photos. Police say he had given the teen three tattoos. Rader is being accused of having sex with a female under the age of sixteen and third degree rape charges. Both are felonies in Oregon.

“The third charge is using a child in display of sexually-explicit conduct and that charge stems from the allegation that he had taken nude photographs of a minor," said Captain Dave Henslee of the Corvallis Police Department.

Rader has plead not guilty to all charges, he is currently still in custody in Corvallis.


ORIGINAL STORY 1/10/13: Man arrested for tattooing teen

CORVALLIS, Ore. (KMTR) -- An Albany man is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year old-girl and tattooing his name near her genitals.

Corvallis Police say the investigation started last month when they confirmed sexually-explicit messages between the man and the teenager. Police say a detective logged onto the girl's Facebook account, posing as the victim to get more information.

30-year-old Matthew Rader is facing third degree rape charges, accused of having sex with a female under the age of 16. Police say he's also facing charges of using a child in display of sexually-explicit conduct for taking nude pictures of a minor, all felonies in Oregon.

"[Rader] was charged with online sexual corruption of a minor in the second degree and that charge stems from the behavior of trying to entice a minor into a sexual relationship through the internet."

Rader has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He is currently in custody in Corvallis.

PS. This guy was twice her age- he was 15 and already having sexual relationships probably, she was being born age 0. Yeah that's just so wrong in my book of ethics, simply unbelievable one would think this relationship is kosher......this was gross and unapropriate! Unacceptable- makes my blood curdle. Our innocense is being robbed from the youth, be nice not to grow up too fast, 14, 15 yrs. old being stuck with a baby. That guy sure be a great father as soon as she turn 10 he'd be having sexual relations with his own child. EEEEoooww

This guy knew better-he was the adult, I can't believe you think the girl was not a victim. Thirty years old and male is no excuse and who raises boys like that to think it's o.k. to mark her body up like it's his. He looks and is a slim bucket, I was still playing with Barbies a her age, how do you assume she's to blame-she was taken ADVANTAGE OF. How dare you!

This web article is atrociously written. Whomever wrote it doesn't even reference the suspect's full name! Just, "Rader," as though we already know who this man is. The first sentence? "This investigation started in December?" WHAT investigation? I'd be so confused had I not had the time to watch the attached video.

While I think this guy deserves punishment I don't believe this girl is innocent either! She knew exactly what she was doing, she isn't 5 years old. At some point we have to at least look at the individual who is giving consent for sex! When I was 15 years old (I'm male) I wanted any girl, it wouldn't have mattered if she was 30 or 16 I wasn't thinking about age I was thinking about sex! The same goes for this girl and many like her! The powers that be are so anal, they have their heads so far up their self-righteous Arses they can't see the entire picture! And most don't want to, they just want to ride to the rescue, the problem with that, most don't need rescuing at least not in the way they think! How about talking to the parents of this girl, because I can guarantee you that this girl was exposed to shady behavior before this. She didn't just decide one day to start having sex. Children who are loved and given discipline and direction usually don't have sex at 15 or 16, or 17... Of course there is an exception to every rule... You people in power need to check on children when they are very young, see how their home life is before they get to the point of sex with a thirty old man, or any male at a young age!
