A convicted sex offender from New Jersey has been convicted and sentenced again thanks to undercover work by an investigator with the Rockland D-A’s office. U-S Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, said yesterday that 36 year-old Brian Reed of Franklin, New Jersey, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty last October to attempted enticement of a minor. Williams says Reed told the investigator, who was posing as a 13-year-old girl in an online platform, that he wanted sexually explicit photos and asked to meet with him to have sex. Reed was arrested in May 2022 when he drove from New Jersey to Rockland County to meet with the girl. Eight years ago, Reed was convicted in Morris County Superior Court in New Jersey of endangering the welfare of a child through sexual conduct. He got three years behind bars in that case and was required to register as a sex offender.
