CAMBRIDGE – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Cambridge Police Commissioner Christine Elow announced today that Roger W. Reddick, Jr., 41, of Cambridge has pleaded guilty to three counts of Rape of a Child with Force. These charges stem from a sexual attack on a then-thirteen-year-old girl which occurred in October 2000 after the defendant, who was a stranger to the family, broke into her home.
