Uniontown Man Facing Five To Fifteen Years In Prison

Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that a Fayette County man has been sentenced to five to 15 years in prison for contacting a girl, via social media, sending her lewd images, and eventually, arranging a meeting for what he thought was a sexual encounter.  Derek Allen Reed, 35, of Uniontown, was arrested at the pre-arranged meeting place in June 2023.  Reed pleaded guilty in November to numerous felonies, including several counts of unlawful contact with a minor, and dissemination of explicit sexual materials to a minor.  Following release from prison and parole, Reed will serve five years of probation. He must register as a sex offender for 25 years.
