A New Jersey man who co-owned a gymnastics and tumbling center was arrested over the weekend after allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage girl, according to the Galloway Township Police Department.

Officers said they received a report of an adult male, identified as Matthew A. Shriver, engaging in sexual activity with a 16-year-old girl.

Investigators found cell phone evidence that corroborated the victim’s statements, police said. This discovery led to searches of the 51-year-old’s mobile phone, his personal car and his business address Everest Gymnastics and Tumbling Center in Galloway township.

Officials said more evidence was found after conducting those searches.

Shriver, of Brigantine, was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and other related charges.

He was taken to the Atlantic County Justice Facility and will remain there until his first court appearance.

The Everest Gymnastics and Tumbling Center went to their Facebook to warn their community that Shriver no longer works there. The post also states that he will not have access to the facility.

The post goes on to say that the gym’s “sole owner” is Jennifer Jones and that the rest of the staff “only has the best interest of the children in mind.”

If you have been a victim of Shriver and would like to report an incident, please contact the Galloway Township Police Department immediately by calling 609-652-3705.
