City man sentenced up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to raping, sexually assaulting young girls
A Lancaster city man was sentenced to nine to 20 years in state prison after he pleaded guilty last week to sexually assaulting and raping two different young girls years apart.
Judge Thomas Sponaugle sentenced Mee Reh, 33, after he pleaded guilty Aug. 21 to rape of a child, criminal attempt of rape of a child, sexual assault, indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age, indecent exposure, two counts of corruption of minors and two counts of unlawful contact with a minor.
Reh, 33, physically forced the victim to the ground and attempted to rape her at his Lancaster city residence in the 200 block of North Lime Street in June 2019.
Later, Reh raped and sexually assaulted a second victim at the same address in February 2022.
Both victims were less than 13 years old at the time.
Reh admitted to committing the offenses but otherwise declined to address the court when given the opportunity to do so.
As part of his sentence, Reh will also have to register with Pennsylvania State Police as a sex offender for the remainder of his life and pay more than $2,600 in restitution.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Ponessa prosecuted the cases.
Lancaster City Bureau of Police Det. Ryan Hockley filed both sets charges.
