The judge handed down a sentence of 88 days to 23 months in the Bucks County Correctional Facility, but Reeves was given credit for the 88 days he spent undergoing in-patient treatment.
Reeves will be on parole and then have two years of probation.
In summer 2019, a Bucks County Detectives investigation led to Reeves being charged. Detectives uncovered alleged images of minors “engaged in sexually provocative positions.” The probe included investigators executing a search warrant on Reeves’ home, vehicle, and electronic devices.
