Uniontown Man Sentenced for Crimes Against Minor via Social Media
**HARRISBURG, PA** – Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a prison sentence for Derek Allen Reed, a Fayette County resident, for his criminal activities involving a minor. Reed, 35, of Uniontown, has been sentenced to five to 15 years for contacting a young girl on social media, sending her inappropriate images, and attempting to meet her for a sexual encounter.
Reed was apprehended at the arranged meeting location in June 2023. In November, he admitted guilt to several felony charges, including unlawful contact with a minor and distributing explicit material to a minor.
After serving his prison term and parole, Reed will undergo five years of probation. Additionally, he is required to register as a sex offender for 25 years under the law.
Attorney General Sunday remarked on the case, highlighting the risks of social media misuse by predators. Senior Deputy Attorney General Angela Raver led the prosecution against Reed. Reed had initially met the 15-year-old victim at an ex-girlfriend’s home and later communicated with her on platforms like Facebook and Snapchat.

Attorney General Warns Against Misleading Federal Employee Buyout Program
**TRENTON, NJ** – New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin has joined a coalition of 11 attorneys general to caution federal employees about the Trump administration’s “deferred resignation” program. This program allegedly offers employees pay through September 30, 2025, if they resign by February 6.
On January 28, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) notified federal employees via email about the program, promising continued payment and benefits, along with an exemption from in-person work requirements until September 30. A follow-up email on January 30 reiterated this offer, encouraging employees to seek more productive opportunities outside of government. OPM set a deadline of February 6 for employees to decide on the offer, warning that those who do not accept may risk losing their positions.
Federal employee unions, such as the American Federation of Government Employees and the National Federation of Federal Employees, have advised their members against accepting the offer. These unions released information cautioning that employees who accept may not be assured of the promised benefits.
The attorneys general from Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington joined
