Plattsmouth man accused of pandering
Woman tells police abuse began when she was 16 years old
PLATTSMOUTH - A Plattsmouth man is charged with pandering and distribution of sex-related images after a 19-year-old told police about abuse she says began when she was 16.
Mathew Kochen, 40, is accused of using social media this year to offer the girl for sex for $300. An arrest affidavit says police found multiple images of Kochen sexually abusing the girl and say some photos had been shared on Facebook.
An investigation into Kochen began after police were called to a Sixth Street residence on May 28. Kochen is charged with assault by strangulation in that case and is scheduled for trial on Oct. 2.
