COSTA MESA, Calif. - A 30-year-old babysitter service operator 
from Costa Mesa previously accused of molesting seven boys was 
charged Friday with additional felony counts involving five more 
alleged victims.

Matthew Antonio Zakrzewski was charged in May with sexually 
assaulting two boys in Laguna Beach and Los Angeles, and later 
that month prosecutors filed an amended complaint adding charges 
related to five additional boys.

On Friday morning, the defendant was arraigned on the latest 
complaint and pleaded not guilty.

He now faces 25 felony counts: 19 counts of lewd and lascivious 
acts with a minor younger than 14; two counts of distributing 
pornography to a minor for the purpose of engaging in sexual 
conduct; and one count each of oral copulation of a child 
younger than 10, possession of child pornography, using a minor 
for sex acts, and an attempted lewd or lascivious act with a 
child younger than 14.

If convicted, he would face 490 years to life in prison.

Zakrzewski's attorney, Matthew B. Wallin, said in a statement to 
City News Service:

 "I have not yet received any reports concerning these 
newallegations. It is important not to speculate or come to any 
conclusionswithout a full review of the allegations and 
evidence. All defendants,including Mr. Zakrzewski, are entitled 
to the presumption of innocence.''

Prosecutors allege the defendant molested the boys -- ranging in 
age from 4 to 10 -- between Jan. 1, 2016, through mid-May of 
this year.

Zakrzewski called himself  "the original Sitter Buddy" on his 
website, in which he also characterized himself as a "manny" who 
provided a variety of babysitting services.

"In the eighth grade I discovered what a joy it was to work with 
children and be a positive impact in their lives through my 
school's `Buddy Program,'" he says on the Sitter Buddy website. 
"Now, I am a full-service TrustLine Certified provider of 
regular and on-demand childcare, as well as mentoring services 
for children."

In the cases of the first two alleged victims who came forward, 
the defendant met them in his job as a babysitter, said Kimberly 
Edds, a spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney's 
Office. The boy from Laguna Beach was allegedly assaulted from 
February to May and the boy in Los Angeles was allegedly 
molested in December 2017, she said.

Investigators allege the defendant was found in possession of 
child pornography that included himself with one of those 
alleged victims.

Zakrzewski's next court date is a Nov. 8 pretrial hearing at the 
Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach.
