LOGAN — A 45-year-old Wellsville man, accused of raping and sodomizing an underage girl has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Ray Reeder appeared in 1st District Court Tuesday afternoon. His defense attorney told the court they had been in talks with state prosecutors and were working on a possible plea agreement.
Reeder was originally arrested in August and charged with two counts of rape, a first-degree felony and two counts of sodomy, a second-degree felony.
At the time of the arrest, Cache County Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Peterson said a female teenager told a school councilor how Reeder had raped her. The councilor notified the sheriff’s office and Division of Child and Family Services, who investigated.
Reeder was ordered to appear again in court December 15.
