Former
police officer Ryan Reese has been charged with multiple crimes, including
rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, indecent
assault, and official oppression.
Reese has been the chief and
supervisor of the town’s drug task force, and over the course of his
career, has used that position of power to prey on women suspected of
drug crimes, and in at least one case, an underage girl has been the victim
“He
was basically telling females they could get out of charges, first by
being informants, then move on instead to I want to perform sexual acts
with you,” Lucas said.
One victim testified in court that
Reese came to her home and became aggressive with her and handcuffed
her, sexually assaulted her, and then told her that if she tried to tell
anyone, no one would believe her because she was “just a junkie.”
A
second victim said that Reese sexually assaulted her in the Fayette
County Drug Task Force building after he had lured her there for other
purposes.
Reese has a long history of predatory sexual behavior on
the job, beginning in 2012 when he was suspended for having sex with an
informant in a prostitution sting. Reese has also being accused of raping a 16-year-old girl in front of
her boyfriend “in exchange” for leniency with a drug charge.
