State v. Joshua Reed
- In 2016, five-year-old P.T. told her caregiver that her mother’s ex-boyfriend, Josh Reed, had touched her inappropriately. P.T. repeated her statements when interviewed by CPS. Reed denied ever touching P.T. inappropriately. The State charged Reed with first-degree rape of a child, first-degree molestation, and witness tampering. The juvenile court found Reed guilty on all counts. Reed appeals asserting, among other things, that there is insufficient evidence to support the first-degree molestation charge, and it was error to order some of the community custody provisions. COA # 849450, Whatcom County Superior Court # 16-1-0063-21.
