A former Mecklenburg County deputy court clerk and Charlotte youth volleyball coach has been accused of engaging in the purchase of sexually explicit materials involving underage individuals. As reported by WSOCTV, the individual allegedly utilized Instagram as a platform to carry out these transactions over a period of several years.
Further details provided by QC News indicate that the accused, identified as Matzinger, admitted to exchanging money and gifts for explicit content he believed was being sent by a teenager. This communication occurred through social media under the guise of a person named “Zianna.” Matzinger reportedly began to suspect a scam in 2023 and subsequently ceased contact.
In connection with the same case, WCNC Charlotte reveals the suspect was a coach at the Carolina Juniors Volleyball Club for 16 years before resigning abruptly via email last Tuesday. "He resigned last Tuesday by sending us an email with no explanation," according to a statement from the club. This information comes amidst assertions from the club that they have never faced any prior complaints about the accused's conduct during his tenure.
These allegations have evidently taken the local community by surprise, particularly as the charges clashed with the former court clerk's otherwise unsullied reputation. "The news about his recent arrest and charges is a shock to all of us at CJV," communicated the Carolina Juniors Volleyball Club's statement, according to WCNC Charlotte. The sequence of events highlights the hidden duality that can exist behind public personas and stresses the importance of diligent oversight in positions that involve close contact with the youth.
