Delaware County, PA – Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon, the wife of a former University of Pennsylvania basketball star Matthew White, has been charged with stabbing her husband to death in bed because she says she caught him looking at child porn, according to court records.
Matthew White, 53, was asleep in his bed sometime around midnight Monday when his wife, Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon, began stabbing him in the neck with a knife. White reportedly woke up during the attack and tried to fight off his wife, yelling ”I’m dying, I’m dying!” before collapsing on the bed.
Afterwards, Garcia-Pellon changed clothes and went to a neighbor’s home after placing a bloody, rambling note inside another neighbor’s mailbox. There Garcia-Pellon told the neighbor she had killed her husband because she caught him looking at child pornography. After 911 was called and police arrived, Garcia Pellon reportedly told investigators, “I caught him looking at pornography, young girls, I love kids. I had to do it.”
I had no idea who White was, as I don’t know shit about sports, but in 1979 he was the starting center when Penn made it to the Final Four of the NCAA basketball championship and still holds the school record for field goal percentage among players with a minimum of 250 made field goa… Zzzzzzz… (*snaps awake after head hits keyboard*)
Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon is currently being held without bail in Delaware County Jail, charged with first degree murder, criminal homicide and possession of an instrument of crime. Her preliminary court hearing is scheduled for Feb. 18. However, according to District Attorney Jack Whelan, Garcia-Pellon’s definition of child porn may not be the actual definition of child porn.
“We don’t know exactly what he was looking at or what she was referring to but when the wife spoke of young girls, we believe she was talking about girls above the age of 18 and perhaps in their early 20s,” Whelan said. “We have one of the best forensic teams and they will analyze his computer, which we have in our possession.”
Friends who knew the couple say they saw no signs of trouble between the couple and that they were regulars at Penn basketball games and alumni events. “She is a very, very peaceful person,” one friend said of Garcia-Pelloon. “In the 25 years I have known her, rage is the absolute last adjective I would use to describe her.”
White was a regular in area adult basketball leagues and at the Penn alumni game until he suffered a stroke in December 2009. Friends and family say since then, White had made a 75% recovery.
