HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A suspect was arraigned late Wednesday night on 22 additional sexual abuse/assault charges after being arrested on 32 similar charges the day before.
Matthew Wilks, 22, was video arraigned about 10:30 p.m. from the Western Regional Jail.
The new criminal complaints involve two different victims, who were both males under 12 years old when the incidents occurred.
Detectives say the total number of known victims in the case is four, and they say more victims could come forward.
The complaints from the latest charges list graphic and disturbing details where the young victims told investigators Wilks sexually abused them while he was babysitting them. The complaints say the children told their parents about the abuse.
State Police say Wilks was attacked a little after 6 p.m. Wednesday by another inmate in the booking section of the jail. That inmate is identified as Joseph Genet.
Genet was arraigned immediately following Wilks Wednesday night. Genet is charged with battery after troopers say he elbowed Wilks in the face, leaving Wilks needing stitches.
