In an interview airing on OWN's Oprah Prime on July 17, Matthew tells Winfrey that Jerry began molesting him when he was ten years old. "You thought you were the only one," Winfrey says to Matthew.

At the time of his adopted father's 2012 trial, Matthew released a statement through his attorneys saying that Jerry had molested him. Jerry was convicted of 45 charges of sexual abuse of young boys and was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison. Matthew was not one of the ten boys whom Jerry was convicted of abusing, although Matthew did receive a financial settlement from Penn State and a third-party law firm.??
