The Serra Mesa military community has been left with an uneasy feeling after a U.S. Navy Chief was arrested on a number of child sex crime charges.
According to reporting partner 10 News, Chief Petty Officer Matthew Diangelo is facing several charges, including child sex abuse.
Navy officials have confirmed Diangelo’s arrest, saying he’s an aviation electronics technician assigned to a command at Naval Air Station North Island.
Court documents also reveal a restraining order request filed earlier last week, alleging abusive behavior by DiAngelo.
Diangelo is scheduled to be arraigned in court Monday.
