HALF MOON BAY — Authorities have arrested a suspect in the 2018 sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl after the victim recognized her alleged assailant in a newspaper article about his arrest in another sexual assault case.

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office arrested Matthew Hann, 22, at his home in Half Moon Bay on Friday on charges of assault with the intent to commit rape and sexual penetration with force on a minor.

Around 10:30 p.m. on July 3, 2018, the 15-year-old victim was reportedly walking her dog on Coast Side Trail when a man sexually assaulted her. During the investigation, police did not have enough information to identify a suspect, according to a San Mateo Sheriff’s news release.

Hann was arrested by the same department on Aug. 24, after another woman came forward to report an assault from February. Hann was arrested on suspicion of felony oral copulation and sexual penetration.

The 15-year-old victim recognized Hann’s photo in a newspaper article about his arrest, according to the sheriff’s department.

Hann is being held at the Maple Street Correctional Center in Redwood City, with his bail set at $1 million dollars.
