Christopher Martin Reynolds, 35, of Browns Mills, N.J., was arrested in Bensalem Township after responding to an online undercover ad and arriving with $300 and a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew; he was arraigned and is held on $5 million bail. The June 30 operation began when a Montgomery County DA detective posing as a mother advertised her 13-year-old for sex; Reynolds agreed to pay $300 and faces nine felony counts including attempted commercial sex with a minor, attempted statutory sexual assault, and trafficking-related charges. The sting was led by the Bucks and Montgomery County District Attorney’s offices with federal, county and local partners; the case is assigned to First Assistant DA Kristin McElroy.
