Reynolds Is Sentenced To Five Years In Sex Case
Congressman Mel Reynolds receives a five year prison term after being convicted of sexual assault involving a 16 year old campaign worker. Judge Fred G. Suria imposed four years for criminal sexual assault plus one year for obstruction of justice, with four years for child pornography running concurrently. Reynolds resigns from Congress effective Oct. 1 as he denies the allegations. He criticized prosecutors and the media as racist while acknowledging regret for his actions. He was convicted Aug. 22 of having sex with Beverly Heard, who testified after recanting earlier statements.
