According to reports from PPD, on Wednesday, August 22nd, 2018, the Pearland Police Department was notified that Jon Matherne (52, Pearland), who had been employed with the City since 1996 and most recently as a Sergeant in Patrol, was alleged to have committed an act of Invasive Visual Recording. [View Texas Law Here!]
 
Upon learning of the investigation, Mr. Matherne resigned from the Pearland Police Department.
 
Following an investigation, on Wednesday, September 5th, 2018, the Pearland Police Department executed an arrest warrant for Mr. Matherne for the above offense, which is a state jail felony. Mr. Matherne was taken into custody and transported to the Brazoria County Jail where his bond was set at $3,000.00.
 
This incident is still under investigation. We'll update this if anything new becomes available.

It's very disappointing when folks like this, who are supposed to be role models for kids and teens, take advantage of their position for selfish reason. Still, innocent until proven guilty, I hope there is some mistake, but the way it looks, very disappointing.

I appreciate the transparency. That definitely says something about the integrity of our department.

Wow this is something. Ages ago I worked for the Pearland pd in their records department. I remember this individual. It just goes to show that everyone can make errors in judgement

@Elb001 : Not an error in judgement. It was a well thought out planned planting of a camera in his 12 year old step daughters bathroom so he could watch her naked.
Prisons only represent people who have been caught. I'm pretty certain this isn't the first time John has done this.
Eventually he most likely would have molested or raped this girl.

John was thinking he wanted to see his 12 year old step daughter naked.

@Sophie1 :
Heart breaking for John or his 12 year old step daughter who has to live with knowing this freak was watching her naked in the privacy of her own bathroom ?

@Stealth83 : Really no favoritism???? $3,000 bond is a joke!!!! All you have to come up with is 10% to bail out. I'm sure he was out in minutes. As a law enforcement officer who is charged with the duty of upholding the law he should have had bond set to the maximum allowed by law. I'm sure this case will be dismissed, or the charges will be reduced to some misdemeanor in a plea bargain. Try finding out more about this case in a few months. It will be swept under the rug.

A quick Google shows he plead guilty on 9/25/2019 and faces up to two years. 😡
