According to a warrant for Austin’s arrest dated Aug. 1, it is alleged that on July 14, the mother of a 14-year-old girl, identified only as “TL” in documents, contacted the Moore Police Department in Oklahoma advising that her daughter was raped by Austin.
The mother showed police text messages between Matthew and TL when they first met and when their conversation ended.
“(Victim) completed a forensic interview advising she met Matthew through church and then exchanged numbers when she was eating at a restaurant he works at,” police said.
Police said Austin told TL he was 16 years old. Jail records show he was born in November 2005, making him 18 years old.
TL said that in July, Austin had “visited her residence and forced himself on her and raped her.”
She told police that Austin told her “everything would be fine and not to tell anyone due to their age and it needed to be a secret.”
He “also stated to TL that he had done this before and told her it was going to be OK,” a Moore Police Department affidavit states.
The girl was assessed by a sexual assault nurse examiner at a local hospital. She also told police that she confronted Austin about his social media pages which indicated that he was 18.
