Former Disney Star Indicted for Child Porn, Threats

0:00It's April 25th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Durham News Today, your AI-powered local news. Former Disney actor Matthew Prokop, 35 years old, just got indicted in Texas on a first degree felony for possessing child pornography and A, third degree felony for violating a protective order multiple times. He pleaded not guilty back on March 24th. Court docs say authorities found him with 50 or more graphic images of kids under 18 engaged in sexual acts. On top of that, he allegedly broke the order with a woman named Lucy by threatening to kill her in person on December 21st, then bombarding. Her with explicit picks, hotel surveillance shots, and non-stop calls three days later. This all stems from his arrest last May in Victoria, Texas, where Lucy accused him of shoving her around and slamming her head during a fight even, pulling out a hammer while threatening to smash her skull. This is back to her up, and she quickly got that protective order.

1:00Prokop got nabbed again in December after breaching his bond, facing extra charges like resisting arrest and evading detention. It echoes his past, when ex-girlfriend Sarah Highland got a restraining order against him in September 2014, over choking, threats to, burner house, and suicide harassment during their breakup. He's out on bond now, but the case is moving forward with no comment yet from his lawyer. Stay tuned as more details drop on this troubling saga.
