An Allen County man facing multiple counts of rape has one week to take a plea deal to reduce the number of charges that he is facing.
33-year-old Matthew Brown was indicted in June on nine counts of rape, seven counts of sexual battery, two counts of gross sexual imposition, and one count of attempted rape. A plea deal was offered today(7/5/22) that would drop over two-thirds of the charges he is facing. His trial is set to start on July 19th. Â
Brown was first indicted in March with one count of sexual battery, two counts of gross sexual imposition, and one count of importuning. According to that indictment, Brown had sexual contact with a child that was 12-years-old at the time of the offenses in 2020.
