Buckley’s Randy Reed now awaits sentencing, having offered a guilty plea last week to charges of first-degree rape of a child and indecent liberties. Reed, 55, offered the guilty plea Thursday, one day after resigning from his post on the Buckley City Council. He served on the council for the better part of two decades and had recently returned to council and committee meetings; he had been granted a leave of absence after being charged in Pierce County Superior Court. Reed is to be sentenced Oct. 26 as a first-time offender. Prosecutors are recommending a sentence ranging from 10 years, 11 months to life in prison, with all but 12 months suspended. If a judge goes along with the recommendation, Reed would serve his year behind bars in the Pierce County jail, then be at the mercy of the state’s Indeterminate Sentence Review Board. That body would then rule whether Reed should be set free or serve additional jail time.
