Matthew Antonio Zakrzewski, 34, of Costa Mesa, faces 705 years to life plus two years and eight months in prison, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

He was convicted on Oct. 3 by a jury of 34 felony counts, including lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under the age of 14, oral copulation of a child under the age of 10, possession of child pornography, using a minor for sex acts, and more.
Zakrzewski had worked as a nanny for many families across Southern California. His victims ranged in age from 2 to 12 years old, the DA’s office said.

The crimes were committed between Jan. 1, 2014 and May 17, 2019. He filmed many of the sexual assaults on the boys as well.
Through victim impact statements in court on Friday, parents of the victimized boys expressed their outrage at Zakrzewski, comparing him to “an animal they blamed themselves for letting into their homes,” court documents said.
