Norman Reed Busted
Norman Reed, 40, of Lynn, Massachusetts was busted after he flew to Lansing, Michigan allegedly to have sex with what he believed was a 30-year-old woman, her 12-year-old daughter, her 10-year-old son, and her 3-year-old daughter.
When Reed flew into the Capital City Airport last Tuesday he was immediately arrested by Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputies, the department conducting the internet sting.
Reed was arraigned on Friday and charged with one count of child sex abuse material, and two counts of using a computer to commit child sexually abusive activity and was held on a $100,000 bond.
Reed lives in Lynn, MA with a friend and the friend’s mother and has been divorced for more than seven years and according to his ex-wife Reed is addicted to the Internet. The ‘ex’ had the following to say about Reed:
“The stuff with the children, I don’t know. I am not surprised that he hooked up with someone on the Internet. Like I said, when I was married, several times he left several times to go out west to be with people he met on the Internet. Needless to say, that is why my marriage did not last.”
