A former Wright County Sheriff's Office deputy is charged with two felony counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct in Wright County.

A 44-year-old Otsego man who was a deputy in the Wright County Sheriff's Office is facing serious charges after police say he sexually abused a teenage foreign exchange student living in his home.

Wright County District Court, Matthew Johnathon Weaver, 44, is charged with two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Police say the alleged abuse happened between November 2025 and Jan, 13, 2026, while the 15-year-old boy was living with Weaver as a foreign exchange student.

The teenager said the first incident happened Jan. 6, 2026, and the last was the night before he reported it. Investigators say the boy described multiple incidents where Weaver touched him inappropriately, made sexual comments and watched pornography involving young adult males in his presence.

During an interview with a special agent and his attorney present, Weaver denied any sexual touching or propositions and said he did not view pornography in the teenager's presence.

It is not yet clear when Weaver will appear in court or if bail will be set.
