Sentenced: Matthew David Un, age 27.  Charge: Luring a minor for sexual exploitation

In August 2008, investigators of the Phoenix Police Department's Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began an investigation that led to the August 29, 2008 arrest of Matthew David Un. Using the Internet, Un had arranged to meet a minor for sex but he was met instead by investigators of the Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Phoenix Police Department and the FBI.

He was taken into custody without incident. Un was employed by a Phoenix Lighting company and was a professional mixed martial arts fighter. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office handled plea negotiations and in February 2009, Un was sentenced to 10 years in prison and upon release he must register as a sex offender.
