Christopher Martin Reynolds, 35, of Browns Mills, N.J., was arrested in Bensalem Township after traveling to Bucks County believing he was meeting a 13‑year‑old being trafficked for sex; he was arraigned Thursday by Magisterial District Judge Michael W. Gallagher and is held at the Bucks County Correctional Facility on $5 million bail facing nine felony counts. The arrest followed a June 30 online undercover operation by a Montgomery County DA detective who posed as a mother; Reynolds agreed to pay $300 and was found with the cash and a 2‑liter bottle of Mountain Dew at the designated meeting. The operation was led by the Bucks and Montgomery County District Attorney’s offices with local, state and federal partners—Detective Lieutenant Dante Montella heads Bucks County’s specialized anti‑trafficking squad and First Assistant DA Kristin McElroy is assigned to prosecute.
