A Berks County man is accused of sexually abusing a girl for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n

Miguel Reyes, 55, of Reading, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with rape of a child, rape, indecent assault, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children.<\/p>\n

Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at\u00a0800-656-4673<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The investigation into Reyes began in April 2025 after detectives with the Berks County District Attorney\u2019s Office received a report from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services accusing Reyes of sexually abusing a girl over a period of several years.<\/p>\n

Investigators interviewed the girl who said Reyes sexually abused her when she was between the ages of 5 and 14. The girl said the abuse took place at a home on the 400 block of South 7th Street in Reading.<\/p>\n

When Reyes became aware of the allegations, he sent multiple messages to the girl\u2019s mother, asking for forgiveness and pleading with her to not \u201chave him arrested,\u201d investigators said.<\/p>\n

Reyes was arrested and charged on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025. He was committed to the Berks County Jail after failing to post $150,000 bail.<\/p>\n

Online court records showing legal representation who could speak on Reyes’ behalf is not yet available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Berks County man is accused of sexually abusing a girl for nearly a decade.
