Child Porn Investigation in Concord

CONCORD, N.C. - 40-year-old David Matthew Hallman, known as "Matt" to his friends,  is behind bars charged with rape and rape of a child.  One of his ex-wives is already calling this case a child porn ring investigation.  She tells us her children are  victims and helped cops identify 11 other victims.

A search warrant reveals what one young girl told Concord detectives.  She says Hallman, a father of five, photographed and recorded their sexual encounters and if they were "good enough," he'd share them via email with another man.  She says it had been going on for two years.

"I think it's pretty sick, number one," says Ronnie Roberts.  He was in a musical band with Hallman in the 80's.  Looking back, he says there were red flags.  "To be honest with you, I was not shocked because Matt has always kinda liked younger girls and stuff, even when he was growing up and stuff.  We always kinda joked about it, at 38-years-old, he would cruise the mall looking for a girlfriend."

We went to Hallman's Concord home.  His father, who also lives here, declined to go on camera right now and says he's still waiting to hear more from detectives.
 
We've also learned that Hallman's fiance Mary Williams has been charged with first degree rape of a child and four counts of 1st degree sex offense with a child.  Another ex-wife Elizabeth Blake has been arrested on first degree exploitation of a minor.

Roberts says he hopes this case serves as a wake up call for parents.  He says, "This could happen to anyone and you don't always know who you're dealing with no matter how long you been friends with them."

Concord PD declined to comment because this is an active case.  The FBI wouldn't confirm or deny if it's investigating.  Hallman's next court date is in September.
