More charges have been filed against a Texas State student accused of sexual assault.

Investigators also say 33-year-old Matthew Ferguson used Match.com to find potential victims. The registered sex offender is accused of videotaping sex with 18 women at his San Marcos apartment.

Before moving to San Marcos, Ferguson was a student at Baylor University. Investigators say he has victims both in Waco and san Marcos.

He was removed from Match.com after he was arrested in December.

"It's just not the normal person out there that are utilizing these services. There are predators that use these services just as well and they do it to a degree where they master the program. It's a hunting ground for them," says San Marcos Police Sgt. Penny Dunn.

We contacted Match.com.

They emphasized that safety of their members is their number-one priority, and that there are several safety tips available online for concerned members.
