A male nanny in Southern California has been sentenced to 707 years in prison after he sexually assaulted 16 underage boys and introduced pornography to a 17th victim.
On Friday, Matthew Zakrzewski was sentenced to 707 years in prison after he sexually assaulted over a dozen boys ages 2 through 12-years-old.
Before his sentencing, Zakrzewski told Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Menninger that he “prided [himself] on bringing smiles to [the] children and all the good times [they] shared were 100 percent genuine.”
Prosecutor Juliet Oliver disclosed during the trial’s closing arguments that Zakrzewski had a “full book” on pedophilia on his computer and that the majority of the evidence used against him had been videotaped.
He was convicted of sexually assaulting 16 young boys in his care and exposing a 17th victim to child pornography with the intent to sexually abuse him as well.
Zakrzewski also reportedly videotaped several of the sexual assaults on the boys.
The Laguna Beach Police Department arrested the nanny in Costa Mesa on May 17th, 2019, at the airport after his plane landed from an international flight.
Zakrzewski was originally charged with three felony counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under the age of 14, as well as one criminal offense of oral copulation with a child under the age of 10. He was also charged with one felony count of child pornography possession.
After the initial criminal charges were filed, investigators urged the public for assistance in discovering any further potential victims.
Additional victims of Zakrzewski were later uncovered as the investigation progressed through video evidence and public tips, resulting in new charges being filed against him.
On his business website, Zakrzewski referred to himself as “the original Sitter Buddy” and described himself as a “manny” who offered a range of babysitting services, including mentorships, big brother connections, and overnight vacation babysitting.
“Through my school’s ‘Buddy Program,’ I discovered what a joy it was to work with children and be a positive influence in their lives in the eighth grade,” Zakrzewski remarked on the Sitter Buddy website. “Now, I am a full-service TrustLine Certified provider of regular and on-demand childcare, as well as mentoring services for children.”
According to the report, the crimes were committed between January 1st, 2014, and May 17th, 2019.
The first report was in May 2019 when a couple reported that Zakrzewski had inappropriately touched their 8-year-old son. He had been recruited by the parents to care for their 8-year-old child through his babysitting website.
Soon after, the Laguna Beach Police Department’s Major Crimes & Intelligence Unit launched an investigation which led to the discovery of a second 7-year-old victim in Los Angeles, as well as 10 other children throughout Southern California.

What were the charges initially filed against Matthew Zakrzewski upon his arrest?
Ent launched an investigation and uncovered multiple victims and evidence of Zakrzewski’s heinous acts. The victims ranged in age from 2 to 12 years old, and Zakrzewski had violated their trust and subjected them to sexual abuse.
During the trial, the prosecutor revealed that Zakrzewski had a disturbing collection of pedophilic material on his computer and that much of the evidence against him was in the form of videos capturing his despicable acts. He was found guilty of sexually assaulting 16 boys and exposing another victim to child pornography with the intent to abuse him as well.
Zakrzewski’s sentencing occurred on Friday, and he was handed a sentence of 707 years in prison, ensuring that he will face the consequences of his actions for the rest of his life. Before his sentence was delivered, he expressed that he took pride in bringing joy to children and that his interactions with them had always been genuine. However, his words could not overshadow the severe harm he had inflicted upon these innocent lives.
The arrest of Zakrzewski took place on May 17th, 2019, at the airport in Costa Mesa upon his return from an international trip. He was initially charged with multiple felony counts, including lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under 14 and child pornography possession. As the investigation progressed, additional victims came forward, leading to further charges being filed against him.
Zakrzewski had portrayed himself as a trustworthy and caring nanny on his business website, referring to himself as “the original Sitter Buddy.” He offered various babysitting services, mentorships, and claimed to be a certified provider of child care. This facade allowed him to gain the trust of parents and access to their children, ultimately using his position of power to exploit them for his own satisfaction.
The crimes committed by Zakrzewski spanned a period from January 1st, 2014, to May 17th, 2019. The first report was made in May 2019 when a couple came forward and reported Zakrzewski’s inappropriate touching of their 8-year-old son. This prompted the Laguna Beach Police Department to launch an investigation and seek out other potential victims.
The courage of the victims and the dedication of law enforcement led to the unveiling of Zakrzewski’s horrific actions and ensured that justice was served. The severity of the sentence reflects the heinousness of the crimes committed and serves as a reminder that society will not tolerate the abuse and exploitation of our most vulnerable members.
It is crucial to remain vigilant and prioritize the safety of our children. Parents and guardians should thoroughly research and vet individuals entrusted with the care of their children, ensuring that they are qualified, trustworthy, and undergo proper background checks. The case of Matthew Zakrzewski serves as a stark reminder of the importance of taking every precaution to protect our children from harm.
