Jesse Matthew to Face Charges in 2005 Sexual Assault in Fairfax

Prosecutors are expected to announce Monday afternoon that Jesse Matthew Jr. has been charged in the sexual assault of a woman in Fairfax City in 2005.

Matthew, 32, is in custody in Charlottesville on charges related to the disappearance of Hannah Graham in September. Police found a body over the weekend on a farm near Charlottesville that is believed to be Graham.

Prosecutors are expected to announce Matthew has been indicted on charges of attempted capital murder, abduction, and sexual penetration with an object in a 2005 assault in Fairfax, according to NBC Washington.

In September 2005, a 26-year-old woman was walking home when she was forced into a wooded area near Rock Garden Drive and sexually assaulted. The perpetrator fled.

Shortly after Matthew’s arrest on abduction charges in the Graham case, Virginia State Police announced a ”forensic link” between Matthew and the 2009 murder of Morgan Harrington, a college student killed while visiting Charlottesville for a concert.

The FBI has previously linked Harrington’s death to the 2005 sexual assault in Fairfax.

Matthew was arrested in Texas on Sept. 24. He had fled Charlottesville after being identified as the last person to see Graham alive Sept. 13.
