Matthew Robert Jordan, former Director of Business Intelligence at Charleston County School District (CCSD), faces escalated charges for allegedly using his position to solicit and attempt sexual conduct with someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl. Originally arrested in November 2022, new 2025 charges accuse him of misconduct in office by falsifying documents and misusing work time.
Charges and Timeline
- Nov 2022: Arrested for attempted criminal solicitation of a minor and attempted criminal sexual conduct with a minor. He communicated explicitly (e.g., “We can meet and do whatever u want”) and traveled to meet near Shem Creek.
- Nov 2025: Added misconduct in office charge—allegedly facilitated solicitation during work hours under false pretenses and covered it up with falsified district records.
- Current Status: Rejected plea deal; trial pending. Out on bond. All charges active.
District Involvement and Response
Court docs and a termination letter reveal:
- Arrest happened during business hours; Jordan was “away from the office under false pretenses.”
- Role required presence during student hours, but district barred him due to allegations.
- No initial public link to CCSD employment.
- District queried on use of district tech for contacts—no response detailed in reports.
This underscores risks of authority figures abusing positions near minors. Report suspicions to local law enforcement or NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST. Trial updates likely via Charleston court records.
