Owensboro man arrested on charges related to sexual exploitation of minors

OWENSBORO, Ky. – An Owensboro man is facing charges authorities say are related to sexual exploitation of minors.

The Kentucky State Police says it arrested Matthew D. Constant, 51, of Owensboro Thursday around 4:30 p.m.

Authorities say an investigation began in late May after being notified of allegations of a “relationship” involving Constant and an unknown aged student.

Authorities say they received search warrants as a result, allowing them to search Constant’s electronic devices.

Constant is charged with procuring or promoting the use of a minor (12 years old or older) and tampering with physical evidence. He remains at the Daviess County Detention Center.

KSP says the investigation has spanned into other states and additional charges are likely.
