"Richard Reynolds, 52, was convicted on a single count of rape after a six-day jury trial and five hours of deliberations, according to a statement from the Cape and Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois."
"The victim testified in court April 22, according to court records. 'Coming forward to testify in a criminal case is never easy,' Galibois said. 'Her testimony was critical in ensuring that justice was served.'"
"Reynolds, who was a friend of the victim's mother and described as an 'uncle figure' by the victim, allegedly took her to a home in Truro where he was working as a contractor."
"Following the verdict, Reynolds' bail was revoked, and he is currently being held. Sentencing is scheduled for June 4 in the Barnstable Superior Court, Galibois said."
