==Early life==
Matthew Ayala "Matt" Sanchez was born Dec 1, 1970 in San Jose, [[Santa Clara County, California|Santa Clara County]], [[California]], the son of Rafael Burgos Sanchez (b 1938) and his wife Noemi Ayala (b 1948), who had been married in 1965 in San Francisco.  Matt states in an interview that both of his parents were born in Puerto Rico.

Matt was raised in San Jose.  He has stated himself that he was born in San Jose, and his birthday (but not year) was on his facebook profile. (Also see the ''U.S. Public Records database'' cited below.)  Checking the California Birth Index confirms a Matthew Sanchez has this birthdate and birth county, with a mother's maiden name of Ayala. Checking the California Birth Index again, we see that he had a brother Marco Sanchez born in Jan, 1970 also in Santa Clara &mdash; we can match them because Marco was also born to a mother with the same maiden name, Ayala.  It seems a bit incredible that she would give birth in January and then again in December but there you have it. Also note that although there is an actor called "Marco Sanchez" (born as "Marcos Sanchez"), he is not the same person.

Rafael and Noemi filed for a divorce Apr 1976 in Santa Clara County.  On a lark, I decided to check the California Death Index and found [http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=CAdeath1940%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Noemi&gsln=sanchez&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=6456061&recoff=1+2 "Noemi Ayala Sanchez], born  Oct 4, 1948 in Puerto Rico; died Oct 26, 1983 in Santa Clara County.  Father's [last] name Ayala".  So Matt's parents divorced when he was five and his mother died when he was twelve.

Matt states on a profile that he graduated from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_High_School_(San_Jose,_California) Independence High School] there in 1988.  Checking the [http://www.classmates.com Classmates] website, I was able to verify that both Matthew and Marco Sanchez were seniors at Independence High School in 1988.  It would be useful if someone were to find his senior class picture. Here's another [http://ih.ca.campusgrid.net/home site] which is called Independence High School's official site, on their wikipedia page.

At one point I ran across some place where he said he'd been a wrestler in high school.  That is confirmed [http://www.cifccs.org/history/wrestling.htm here] where we see "Central Coast Section Wrestling Championship Results - Champions by Year - 1988 - [Weight Class] 165 Matt Sanchez - Independence [High School]". We can see there that at the same time, Marco Sanchez was also a Wrestler. Evidently Marco did better than Matthew, being mentioned in a few other places on the web for his wrestling, finally resulting in competing in the Olympics in Atlanta representing Puerto Rico.

Andy Towle says [http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:Kkd1pyQsYvEJ:www.ttca.org/cruisenews/labels/link%2520bites.shtml+%22rod+majors%22+wrestling&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=9&gl=us he met Matt in a gay bar] in San Jose in 1989 and went out on a few dates. "I haven't seen him since....he had gone on to do gay adult films...."

==Gay Porn==
On Dec 17, 2006, a site visitor to the AtKol forums named "cutlass",[http://atkol.com/FORUMS/replies.asp?Forum=3&Topic=8931&ScrollAction=Page+1 identified Matthew "Matt" Sanchez as being the same person as Rod Majors aka Pierre LaBranche] a former gay porn star, and also cited a Jan 25, 2006 ''Columbia Daily Spectator'' online article (which used to be) [http://media.www.columbiaspectator.com/media/storage/paper865/news/2006/01/25/News/A.Firm.Stance-2028984.shtml?norewrite200612172004&sourcedomain=www.columbiaspectator.com here].

His biography at IMDb reports that he started work in gay porn in Quebec in 1992 for Kristen Bjorn on two films but that the following year he moved to San Francisco where he worked for both Catalina and Falcon Studios.

According to his [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0538273/ IMDb filmography], his first gay porn film was ''Call of the Wild'' in 1992 and his last film was in 1999.  There is a mention on the web that he first started out as an assistant to the producer/director and later starred in two films by that director.  In all of his films he is created as Rod Majors, except where noted below.  Here is the full filmography with links to either IMDb or IAFD:

Still to be added: ''Catalina's Raw and Uncut'', ''Deep Inside Vicca (DVD)'', ''Directors' Best - Josh Eliot'', ''Man Country''

In the review of Jawbreaker, we have a description that could possible help in dating whether this was compiled from earlier work "Rod Majors and Daryl Brock try to make a "Will Work for Bed" deal with some randy farmhands (Scott Russell, Ty Russell and Chip Daniels), but the farmhands have other ideas."  So we have four other names.  A check of their career, with dates, could be instructive.

Josh Eliot the director started in 1990 according to IMDb.  Daryl Brock according to [http://www.pornstaremart.com/-/porn_star_bio_movies/castid=6331;layoutmode=0;page=2;tab=2.html/-1AB7278B-A004-4AE2-907C-B136F60F521B this site] was born 4 Aug 1961.  According to [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0751445/ "Scott Russell" on IMDb], Scott started his career in 1993.  Ty Russell per [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0751491/ "Ty Russell"] on IMDb started his career in 1993.  And [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0199864/ "Chip Daniels"] started in 1990.  So no help there.  

I just found a new site which has "scene pairings", i.e. who did he actually appear with... [http://www.iafd.com/matchups.rme/perfid=RodMajors/gender=m here].  That should help in possibly finding a movie, released after 1994, where he appears with someone whose own career did not start until then.

Interestingly, toward the end of his porn career, in Nov 1997, we find Matthew A Sanchez with email address  Mateo70@webtv.net discussing weightlifting [http://staff.washington.edu/griffin/deadlifts97.txt here].

And in June, 1998, [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0817397/ "Zak Spears"] says that Matt was one of his favorite co-stars [http://atkol.com/replies.asp?Forum=11&Topic=15&ScrollAction=Page+7 here].

Matthew claims now that all of this footage was shot over one or two summers and then spliced into films over several years. But in his interview, hosted on Kristen Bjorn's site he says "I believe I did some 12 videos." He also confirms in that interview that he worked with "Falcon and Catalina [Studios]".
<blockquote>Q. You've got the sexiest lips in the biz! What are you up to these days? Any chance you could be coaxed out of retirement by a studio?<br>
A. LOL, thanks for the comments on my lips. When I was younger my lips were close to the same size but my face was smaller. I hated them back then. I am so glad the rest of my features have grown into proportion. I live in New York City. I am working on a project in publishing. I wrote an article for a magazine called GYM it should still be out on the stands.</blockquote>

The interview although not dated, internally dates itself to 1999 with the following exchange:
<blockquote>Q. It has been 8 years since you made your first porno movie....<br>
A. I am getting old! I am 28 years old and my next birthday is on Dec. 1st.... </blockquote>

Matthew now claims that he is not gay, and has never been gay.  This footage which shows a few stills from a few of his movies (Warning this link is X-rated.) is [http://www.gaypornblog.com/archives/2007/03/rod_majorsmatt_1.html relevent] to that comment.

==Escort allegations==
This post [http://atkol.com/replies.asp?Forum=5&Topic=1546&DaysOld=2&Sort=ASC here] from 1999 states that at that time Matt was called NYescortop@aol.com and says "I hired him about four years ago," and "he lives in midtown".

A few bloggers have stated that Matt also was the owner of the website .http://www.excellent-top.com.  That site no longers functions, and the screen-capture that *had been* on the WayBack Machine at the internet archives is now blocked.  However, I was recently sent a screen-capture that someone had done from the WayBack Machine prior to the site's information being blocked.

This screen-capture shows the details of what had been posted to www.excellent-top.com.  The capture has embedded in the HTML, information stating that it was copied to the archives in 2001.  I wasn't able to personally verify the screen-capture information until Mar 29, 2007 when I found a trick that bypasses the robot sentry's on the WayBack machine and allows the page to be viewed.  At that time I took my own copies of everything that I could find on that site.

On Nov 9, 2005, Derek aka muscledbos@aol.com posts a [http://www.amcgltd.com/archives/001684.html note] on a AMCGLTD.COM thread about "dead porn stars" implying that the site, by then, has either ceased operation or perhaps the phone number is disconnected.  His message is simply of the "whatever happened to..." category, he doesn't elaborate. (See External Links section far below.)  When I checked on 28 March 2007, the www.excellent-top.com site was no longer hosting any content and appeared to be for sale, but I copied below the whois information for the site for future reference, in particular showing that the site was re-registered March 2004:

The website now hosts a site for buying range tops.

I was contacted by Willy Wilson, at that time unknown to me, but who has since created his own "Watch Matt" site and later identified himself as journalist Charles Wilson. He claimed that Matt was escorting in 2001/2002.  Wilson stated that he has evidence of that activity.  He forwarded to me a saved version of that escort website where Matt states "Excellent Top [cell phone number expunged by me] In $200, Out $250.  I'm in Miami.  I'm going to strive to make this page as informative as possible. You can always reach me Anywhere at [cell phone number (same as above) expunged].  New York: Midtown on the West Side.  San Francisco: Nob Hill area. Send me an [mailto:top@excellent-top.com email] for more information or call me at [cell phone number (same as above) expunged].

The HTML-embedded tag details state "Saved from URL http://www.excellent-top.com, File Archived on 2001.01.24 and Retrieved from the Internet Archive on 2007.03.16". This description was added by the wayback machine (aka internet archive).  This proves that Matt had this website from as long ago as 2001 when the wayback machine archived it.  Then from this same website there are three pictures without heads.  There is also a link called "Hear My Voice" that points at a previously-existent Wave file, of which I now have a copy.

==Escort admission==
Alan Colmes on his [http://www.alan.com/index2.html radio program] in March, 2007, interviewed Matt and on that show Matt admits having been a male prostitute:

*Alan: Tell us what happened.  First of all, a number of years ago... and how many years ago was it? You did gay porn?
*Matt: It was fifteen years ago and it just wasn't gay porn, by the way.  But it was fifteen years ago.
*Alan: What else was it?
*Matt: It was more than that, but it was porn.
*Alan: Did you work as a male prostitute.
*Matt: That as well. Yes
*Alan: You were a male prostitute?
*Matt: Yes, this is one of the worst periods in my life.
:(The above excerpt was transcribed by me, Will Johnson, from an original audio tape of the show.) You can listen to six minutes of this show [http://americablog.blogspot.com/2007/03/alan-colmes-ties-gop-marine-hero.html here].

On his wikicu page they first scooped that his face shot from his blog and the body shot from the leather.html page of his old website fit together perfectly (see [http://wikicu.com/Image:Sanchez_top.jpg here]). [http://www.geocities.com/Mateo1970/Face6.JPG Here], off his facercise page, is yet another picture from his "leather" photo session.  Notice the leather strap over one shoulder, matching the leather strap shown on the leather.html page of his escort website.  More evidence that Matt Sanchez and excellent-top.com are the same person [http://atkol.com/FORUMS/replies.asp?Forum=3&Topic=8931&ScrollAction=Page+9 here].

==Escort proof==
His escort page stated that when he is in New York he is on the mid-West side. Checking Ancestry's ''U.S. Public Records Index'' I was quite surprised to find that record id 524350950 (sinced purged by Ancestry) stated "Matthew Ayala Sanchez born 1 Dec 1970 address [[331 West 57th St]], [Suite] #363".

The full description of what the "U.S. Public Records database" is exactly is [http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=8907&enc=1 here]. This is a database put together by ancestry.com gleaned from "various public records" etc as you can see from their blurb.

Ancestry is no longer showing this page, but I copied the contents before it was purged:
<blockquote>Name: Matthew Ayala Sanchez<Br> 
Birth Date: 1 Dec 1970
Street address: 331 West 57th St 363<br>  
City: New York  
County: New York  
State: New York  
Zip Code: 10019  
Phone Number: 718 </blockquote>

This database has no date, and merely redates the records based on the birthdate of the person listed, so it's impossible to tell from this, exactly when he had that address or if he still does. [http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2003-36,GGLD:en&q=%22331+west+57th%22 This search] shows that it must be an office building.  I suspect that the "public record" this was created from is probably some sort of DBA filing, but I'm not really sure.  Something like that could be used to receive checks without revealing his true name to his clients.  The editors at wikicu.com has pieced together some pictorial evidence [http://wikicu.com/Image:Sanchez_top.jpg here].  Alexa.com is a service that provides information about websites.  They have details about www.excellent-top.com which you can view [http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=excellent-top.com&url=excellent-top.com here].  Note the physical address of the website 331 W 57th St, #363 which is identical to Matthew Ayala Sanchez's physical office address provided by the ''US Public Records'' database above.

His personality is fine by me but might put some guys off. I feel my sessions with him have been a bit short."
The same site also mentions that Matt travelled frequently between New York, California and Florida.  It also mentions his interview with KB and that in that interview it said he was a graphic designer.

==Marines==
In [http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/03/mcsanchez070314/ this article] in the Military Times, it is stated that Sanchez joined the Marine Corps on May 14, 2003 at the age of 32, and is a refrigeration mechanic. He is currently on Individual Ready Reserve, which holds the stipulations that he receive no pay or benefits and is not obligated to drill, conduct annual training, or participate in any military activities until activated by Presidential Reserve Callup Authority.(See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Ready_Reserve Wikipedia article on Individual Ready Reserve]) While in the Marines, he was a part of HQ COMPANY 6TH COMM BN 4TH MARDIV, also known as 6th Comm; they are based out of Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn, NY. After a stint with 6th Comm, Sanchez took a position at the New York Public Affairs Office of the Marine Corps.

Sanchez has stated that he had made it known to the Marine Corps upon enlisting that he had engaged in homosexual activity and had worked as a gay prostitute, and that the Marine Corps allowed him to enlist with that knowledge. (This claim, copied here from Wikicu, needs to be properly sourced.)

According to the Marine Corps Times, Sanchez's stint with the 6th Communications Battalion was short lived; he transfered to IRR status 11 days prior to reaching the 2 year mark. "Typical Reserve enlistment contracts are eight years, with six spent drilling with a Reserve unit and two in the IRR. Sanchez said he was transferred to non-drilling status early because of a medical problem." The Marine Corps Mobilization Command is currently investigating Sanchez, with regards to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and section 654 of U.S. Code Title 10[http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/03/mcsanchez070314/][http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/03/marine_porn_sanchez_070323/]. Sanchez's blog "Cpl. Matt Sanchez" has recently been renamed "Matt Sanchez".

According to [http://accessnorthga.com/audio/martha/MattSanchez1.mp3 this interview] with Martha Zoller, Sanchez has stated that he will be deployed as an embedded civil affairs reporter in May of 2007.  According to a message posted [http://mattsanchez.blogspot.com/2007/03/columbia-says-it-honors-its-veterans.html here] on Mar 19, 2007 the Martha Zoller interview was broadcast that day.

==Masseur==
On that March, 2007 Alan Colmes show, Alan claimed that he had an ad from the ''New York Blade'' from "November, 19, 2004" showing that Matt was still advertising as a masseur at that time. At one point in that show, Matt responds with "Well I am a licensed massage therapist."  Here is the [http://www.op.nysed.gov/opsearches.htm site] run by the New York State, Office of the Professions on which you can search for "Massage Therapist" licenses in New York.  A search for Sanchez does not reveal anyone named Matthew, Matt, or Mateo.

NOTE: the below paragraph was writen some time ago.  Since that time, the New York Blade for reasons best known to themselves has either moved or removed the tearsheets from their website.  However the links I provide *were* all functional at one time.

The ''New York Blade'' at one time happened to have an online version of their entire run of 2004, which you could find from their advanced search engine [http://www.nyblade.com/advancedsearch/ here].  I checked the Nov 19, 2004 issue on the page near the back cover, which you may view [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/11-19-2004/NYB026.PDF here], where masseur/escorts with pictures are typically advertised, but none of the phone numbers there match the phone number listed on his escort webpage.  However correspondent's have pointed out to me that Matt has acknowledged that the picture for "No Regrets Massage" is a picture of him.  Here is the ad from [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/11-12-2004/NYB038.PDF Nov 12, 2004], [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/11-05-2004/NYB050.PDF Nov 5, 2004], [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/10-29-2004/NYB038.PDF Oct 29, 2004], [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/10-22-2004/NYB034.PDF Oct 22, 2004]. Note that in the ad on Oct 22, the picture is different from the picture later that year.  Here is the page from [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/07-30-2004/NYB030.PDF Jul 30, 2004], [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/07-02-2004/NYB034.PDF Jul 2, 2004] and [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/06-25-2004/NYB034.PDF Jun 25, 2004].  The issue just prior on [http://www.nyblade.com/advertising/etearsheets/pdf/06-18-2004/NYB051.PDF Jun 18, 2004] does not have this ad. (These tearsheets as of August 2007, appear to be defunct pages for some reason.)

<!-- The phone number in that ad 212 307 1070 is or was registered to a "Corey FitzGerald" at the same address where Matt lives today, 412 W 47th Street. Google for "Dorothy Parker Society" and the "New Yorker". Corey FitzGerald is also acknowledged by the US Public Records database at 339 W 48th 9773628, 9776199, 7571033 and at 459 W 44th 9571347, 5813713, 4892314, 5813391 and 7658669.

A March 2007 post to a message board [http://www.towleroad.com/2007/03/usmc_begins_inq_1.html here] states that "I'm sure I've seen Mateo's ad... in the back of HX or Next within the past year."

==Recent life==

Matt has reviewed some books on Amazon under two seperate profiles.  His first profile, which I retrieved on March 28, 2007 from  [http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3NF0551WKCCF8/ref=cm_aya_bb_pdp/104-7135329-3945561 here] states his nickname as Mateo70, his location as "New York, NY" and his birthday as "12/1".  He also invites readers to "... check out my Facercise site: http://www.geocities.com/mateo1970/index.html"

Under this profile he reviewed five books:
*On Dec 25, 1999 he reviewed ''Building the Classic Physique: The Natural Way'', by Steve Reeves
*On Apr 24, 2000 he reviewed ''Facercise'', by Carole Maggio where he signs the review "Matthew A. Sanchez"
*On Aug 11, 2000 he again reviews ''Facercise'', this time signing himself as "Mateo70@bellatlantic.net"
*On March 24, 2001 he again reviews ''Facercise'', this time signing himself as "Matt Sanchez"

A fascinating new development has emerged.  I guess Matt's good reviews of facercise paid off.  See post [http://www.militarytimes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1558809&page=27 #266 here] by Xenophile, which claims that Matt's picture appears on an alternate edition geared toward men. This edition of the book, which is called "Facebuilder for Men" (published July 2002) is [http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0399527842/ref=sib_dp_pt/102-8442849-5203327#reader-link here] at Amazon.  On the left under "Sections" find the link for "Back Cover" and click it to see Matt's before and after pictures prominently displayed there.  Search inside this book for "Sanchez" and you will see it's dedicated to him and a few others, although he is listed there first.  You may need to sign in to Amazon to view the dedication page [http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/reader/103-9625126-8385463?asin=0399527842&pageID=S008&checkSum=BOsWgb2HsX8KnBsaJxO2xsJRKfowZcEOc2H0j/BZZlU= here] where it says "This book is dedicated to Matthew Sanchez, whose determination and dedication to facial improvement have been a major inspiration to me.  I am grateful for his vision, support and encouragement."  It then mentions about five or six more people.

His interest in Ann Coulter goes back at least to 2004.  You can see a comment he posted [http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2002/02/18/16691641_content.html here], with another new email address Mateo1970@yahoo.com

The bellatlantic email address was evidently never used as a google search only turns up the Amazon review above.

Within a year he had created another profile [http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3VQOJ93YR0LD2 here] where
*In June, 2006 he [http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3VQOJ93YR0LD2/ref=cm_pdp_about_see_review/104-7135329-3945561?ie=UTF8&sort%5Fby=MostRecentReview reviewed] a book by Ann Coulter.
*And in Nov 2006 [http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3VQOJ93YR0LD2 here] a book by Jay Kopelman.

In June, 2006 he also joined [http://www.slingcommunity.com/profile/4943/ the Slingbox community], but only posted a few comments and hasn't returned.

Matt states that "In September 2005, I wrote a column for the campus newspaper that blasted the anti-military bias among my fellow students at Columbia University."  Following up on that, he filed a discrimination lawsuit against Columbia and was invited on "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity and Colmes" as a result of that.[http://www.haloscan.com/comments/joemygod/6916839270330363692/]

An [http://media.www.columbiaspectator.com/media/storage/paper865/news/2006/01/25/News/A.Firm.Stance-2028984.shtml article] from Jan 25, 2006 in the ''Columbia Spectator'' states that in the Fall [of 2005] Matt got into an argument "...with several members of the International Socialist Organization and later filed a harassment complaint against the three students."  One of those students, Zach Zill, wrote an [http://media.www.columbiaspectator.com/media/storage/paper865/news/2006/01/27/Opinion/The-Conservative.Witch.Hunt-2029013.shtml op-ed on Jan 27, 2006].

On Dec 4, 2006, Matt [http://www.nypost.com/seven/12042006/postopinion/opedcolumnists/diversity_double_talkivys_inclusion_excludes_military_opedcolumnists_matt_sanchez.htm?page=0 wrote an article] for the New York Post, which at the end states "Matt Sanchez is a corporal in the U.S. Marines (Reserve) and a junior at Columbia."

About this time, he joined http://www.military.com and his profile [http://profile.military.com/member/view.do?memberId=3460548 there] states "Matt Sanchez, Marine Corps Reservist (drilling), E-4, Corporal. Resides in New York.  Unit Affilitations: 6th Communications Battalion, Active Duty 2004-5".  Evidently this refers to that 6th Communications Battalion which has its Headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.

Matt has [http://mattsanchez.blogspot.com/ his own blog] which has an entry as old as Dec 7, 2006 and as recently as 16 May 2008 and where he specifies his email address as [mailto:Matthew.A.Sanchez@Gmail.com Matthew.A.Sanchez@Gmail.com].  He has a link on that blogsite to [http://www2.blogger.com/profile/06332135217667601368 his profile here] where he states that his occupation is Public Relations, that he has been "On Blogger Since Dec 2006"

Matt also allegedly had a profile on http://www.manhunt.net which is a website dedicated to gay men seeking other gay men.  The person with that profile logged onto that site as recently as February 2007.

Matt is enrolled in the Columbia University School of General Studies, this is not the same as the "Ivy league" school called Columbia College. See [http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/faq/admissions.php#36 here] for more details.

In an interview with Martha Zoller he states that he "...just became partner at a marketing firm."  Later in that same interview he states "I will be deployed, I will be embedding as a reporter however with a civil affairs unit."

That marketing firm was identified [http://wang-tastic.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-integrity.html here] as a company called "MDA".

==Jeanne Kirkpatrick Award==

On March 2, 2007, Matthew was presented with CPAC's [http://www.cpac.org/agenda_30207.html ''Jeanne Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award''], while at their 2007 Annual Conference, held in Washington, DC.  It was quickly revealed that Matt had been a star in some gay-porn films in the past.

On Mar 19, 2007 an [http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/03/mcsanchez070309/ article] by John Hoellwarth appeared in the ''Marine Corps Times'' about the situation.  A follow-up article also in the ''Marine Corps Times'' and also by John Hoellwarth appears  [http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/03/marine_sanchez_investigation070330/ here] stating that an investigation into him will be wrapped up Mar 30, 2007.

<table><tr><td>On [http://mattsanchez.blogspot.com/ Sanchez's blogging website] he was, about this time, no longer calling himself "Corporal" Sanchez.  He now claims to not "identify as a gay man".  As I have shown above, the evidence is strong of ownership of a site called excellent-top, advertising in the "masseur" section of the Gay Blade, plus the mentions of him as Matt and Rod Majors, in connection with that same site, as a prositute as late as 2004. "Excellent Top" is not the sort of phrase that would be used in the straight community, nor by a masseur; most straight-people would probably have no knowledge that a "top" is a man who fucks other men, while a "bottom" is the man getting fucked.  The phrase cannot be construed in any other way than as an ad for a male prostitute for men.

To date, although Matthew has claimed that he advertised his masseur services in non-gay publications, exactly when and where these ads appeared has not been forthcoming.</td><td>http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/xml/news/2007/03/mcsanchez070314/070315_Sanchez_story.JPG</td></tr></table>

== Jan 2008 Update ==
This comment was posted on 1 Jan 2008, to the Talk page of Matt Sanchez's biography at Wikipedia:<blockquote>THE LEAD ON THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER TRUE, and Mr. Sanchez's motion in the discussion forum that his page be ammended to reflect being cleared of all Marine Corps allegations is misleading at best and a lie of omission at worst. Let me explain. My name is John Hoellwarth, I wrote the articles for Marine Corps Times that are cited as sources #1 and 2 for this Wikipedia entry. But what is most important to this entry now is information I didn't get a chance to publish before starting a new job elsewhere. I'm holding in my hand a copy of Mr. Sanchez's publicly releasable personnel information, which was given to me by Marine Corps Forces Reserve in response to a Freedom of Information Act request I submitted on behalf of Marine Corps Times. The most important detail to now consider when editing this page is that Mr. Sanchez is no longer a Marine, which makes the first sentence of this wikipedia entry false. Though it is true that the allegations of wrongfully soliciting funds were found to be baseless, the Marine Corps ultimately concluded that failing to tell his recruiter about past participation in gay porn constituted an omission of fact that would have rendered him morally unqualified for military service. As a result, The Marine Corps discharged him for "fraudulant enlistment." That said, again, this wikipedia page is now flatly false. And unfortunately, I no longer work at Marine Corps Times, so I can no longer get this information published. So, I call upon you experienced wikipedia folks to help me out here and ensure accuracy prevails. What can be done? — NotebookNinja (talk • contribs) 00:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)</blockquote>

It is not yet known whether the above paragraph is accurate or not.

Here is [http://cplsanchez.info/Update__New_Information.html some more information] that Charles Wilson has newly updated to his site.

Here is a [http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=15365 forum post] with more new information from 2008.

In an ArbCom decision from Jan 2008, Matt Sanchez has been banned for one year from editing in Wikipedia.

Another new update posted as a blog [http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2008/01/audio-were-not.html here] by Good as You, linking to an audio clip of Matt talking to another guy on the telephone, and [http://forum.cplsanchez.info/user/discussion.aspx?id=73855&p=3&fps=1 here is a transcript] of that phone call.

[http://www.goodasyou.org/sanchezemails.jpg A follow-up email exchange] between Good as You and Matt Sanchez dated 21 Jan 2008.  And [http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2008/01/the-sanchez-cal.html here] the guy on the other end of that phone call responds as well.

==Wikipedia==
For some time Matt Sanchez has been editing his own autobiographical article at Wikipedia.  While this is frowned upon, it is not prohibited provided the editor pays attention to the requirement to edit with a neutral-point-of-view and use reliable sources.  However Wikipedia policy also states that we can and generally do, use whatever non-contentious statements a person makes about themselves.  After many violations of the guidelines on Civility, Matt's behaviour and that of all the editors on the article has come up for review at ArbCom.  After a long discussion, investigation and analysis with a bit of unexpected drama every now and then, the end result is that [http://wikidashboard.parc.com/wiki/User:Bluemarine Matt Sanchez is blocked from editing Wikipedia for one year].
