Sparks city employee is sentenced in child petition case

Posted on by Vaseline

City of Sparks Assistant Public Works Manager Matthew Dearborn faces up to five years in prison after agreeing to a plea deal in a minor case.

The 41-year-old Dearborn signed a plea agreement in late August on charges of attempted abuse or neglect of a child involving sexual exploitation, according to court documents.

He was arrested in early June on charges of soliciting a child for prostitution and attempted child molestation for sexual exploitation during a prostitution sting in Reno.

Court documents show that Dearborn allegedly contacted a detective through an online advertisement who posed as a 17-year-old girl and offered money in exchange for sex, then traveled to a Reno casino to meet the minor.

“Mr. Dearborn has submitted, and the city has accepted, his resignation as Assistant Public Works Manager for the City of Sparks,” a spokeswoman told RGJ via email Friday.

Dearborn will be sentenced on December 9, according to the Washoe County Prosecutor’s Office.
