New felony charges filed against Goodman man


Matthew James Self, 33, Goodman, who was already facing child sex charges in Newton and McDonald counties, will continue to be held without bond in the McDonald County Detention Center following the filing of four more felony charges against him today in McDonald County Circuit Court.

Self, a former Neosho resident, pleaded not guilty to the new charges- invasion of privacy and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The allegations had been mentioned in the probable cause statement in Self's earlier case.







According to a heavily redacted probable cause statement, Self allegedly had "hidden cameras, USBs, {and} chargers with hidden cameras in them" all through the residence including in the bathrooms. 

The crimes allegedly took place in 2019.

While living in Neosho in 2016, Self allegedly paid a 10-year-old girl $100 to allow him to sodomize her. The allegations came to light during an interview at the Children's Safety Center in Washington County, Arkansas, according to the Newton County probable cause statement, which was filed March 17 in Newton County Circuit Court.







Self is charged in Newton County with sexual trafficking of a child.

The McDonald County probable cause statement, which was filed March 11, also indicated that Self paid the child $100 for anal intercourse. According to the complaint, the alleged crime occurred in 2019 when the child was less than 12 years old.

The child said Self had hidden cameras in the bathroom and had nude photos on his phone of the child and one of her friends as they showered, according to the statement.

    Its in the water. How else do you explain such saturated widespread perversion in one geographic area? One ironic fact: Predominantly GOP held, just following the orange perv you all call your president.

    Matthew James Self, is a sick, twisted, perverted, bastard, who deserves to never see the outside of a prison. Some people cannot be in our Society and just needs to be permanently housed in prison or given the death sentence.

    459, Perverts and pedophiles come in every race, ethnicity, gender, vocation, political and religious background, NO one or group holds a distinction, your simple minded thinking is just that from a simple leftist liberal mind that is not very developed. Maybe you need to just look at all the Hollyweirds, who funded the Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Harris, Presidential campaigns, talk about a sleezy group and a good majority of them are in jail or should be!

      643 Why did you knowingly vote for a convicted felon with a background of sexual assaults, affairs, and unethical business dealings? As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

      Nobody said that, 12:20, you're just making baseless assumptions.

      Most of you people think we're all like you, playing for our team. It's not a team sport, it's not a game, it's about doing what's right. Now, regarding this specific conversation, please explain how Obama is relevant here. Like him or not, he's never come close to allegations of being a pedophile.

    Another criminal off the street! Of course, their mug shot - tells the whole story. I am sure their family and friends are happy with their life choices - NOT! Life Lesson, stay in school or get trade school training or goto college, and/or get a job, stop the drugs and alcohol, and don't hang around with criminals, especially if they have stolen guns. Try and make something of your life that you, your family, and your friends would be proud of, don't end up with a mug shot and your life ruined.


    Bonus points if anyone figures out who I'm quoting.

    824 and 643, did you vote for Clinton? Then you voted for a sleezy, lying, womanizing, criminal minded sexist, who assaulted multiple women as governor and president. Maybe you should READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH AND FACTS - Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Leslie Millwee, and the Little Blue Dress Wearer - Monica Lewinsky - of which all told the same story of SEXUAL ASSAULT AND MISCONDUCT by BILL CLINTON - YOUR HOLY LEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    TALK ABOUT UNETHICAL BUSINESS DEALINGS - Do you Leftist, Liberal Democrats not remember - Allegations that Bill Clinton permitted drugs into Arkansas center on the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport in Mena, Arkansas and the Whitewater scandal was a 1990s political and financial controversy surrounding a failed 1978 real estate investment in Arkansas by Bill and Hillary Clinton and their business partners, Jim and Susan McDougal..

    OMG - Who gave Bill and Hillary Clinton over a $$ 1-Million Dollars for their Clinton Initiative Fund and the Clinton Foundation - JEFFREY EPSTEIN -
    Can we least forget that Jeffrey Epstein, visited Bill Clinton at the White House over 17-TIMES - - THE DEMONCRATS - NEED TO SHUT THE F--- UP, BECAUSE NO PRESIDENT HAS DONE SO MANY DEVIOUS AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS - EXCEPT - YES, ANOTHER DEMOCRAT - JOHN F. KENNEDY - BILL CLINTON'S HERO...

      12:58 Just take your lumps and go. It doesn't matter who one voted for, you're whataboutism is evidence that you can't defend yourself against rational thought.

      Doesn't matter what you want to claim, Trump is demonstrably the worst president, and the worst person to be at any level of government.

      All you do is point fingers at "demoncrats" with no real though behind it. Just fear and ignorance.

      638 Doesn't matter what you want to claim, "Trump is demonstrably the worst president" is just you opinion, notice you don't provide any statistics showing how exactly he is the worst president compared to all the other terrible presidents we've had in this country.
      You pretend that you're not an ignorant team player, and you're not just another person with fear suffering from TDS, but your comments prove otherwise.
      Any rational adult human being that has the ability to actually step outside of the box, do their own research, knows that they are all the same.
      They are all equally terrible, they are all shabbos goys working towards the same goal, complete and total population control. They are all wings of the same bird, including your precious pretty boy Obama. Notice how these presidents are all "enemies" until after they serve, and then all of a sudden they're all chummy with each other. Bush, the Clintons, Obama, shoot even Trump with Obama in recent history, remember them sitting together, smiling, laughing.
      It's all WWE theatre, the president isn't the one pulling the strings, couldn't be any more clear at this point. Why don't you actually take advantage of the computing power in your pocket and go beyond what MSM spoon feeds you, while you still can.

      The PPPP really went off the reservation on this particular thread. Hope it didn't result in an explosion and consequential release of biohazardous material in the lab! Keep a lid on that petre dish please!
