**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.
