On Jan. 9, a jury found Warren Reynolds, of Avondale, guilty of more than 30 charges including aggravated indecent assault. 

The trial was held before the Honorable Bret M. Binder. Evidence presented over the week-long trial established that Reynolds repeatedly sexually abused a child victim between 1999 and 2003, a jury concluded. The victim was 8 years old when the abuse began.

Testimony revealed that the majority of the sexual abuse occurred at a residence on Penn Green Road while Reynolds was supposed to be caring for the victim. 

Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said in a statement, “This defendant thought his family wealth could shield him from justice. Thanks to the courage of the victim and the work of investigators and prosecutors, the jury convicted the defendant of all the crimes he was charged with in less than two hours.”

Reynolds, a former New Garden Township supervisor, had previously pleaded guilty to five counts of possession of child pornography.
