Conviction in Long-Unsolved Burlgary-Sex Assault of Cambridge Teen
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.
Curbside Composting
Cambridge’s composting program transforms food scraps into clean energy and fertilizer through an innovative digestion process. By reducing landfill waste, lowering costs, supporting climate goals, and even decreasing rodent activity, composting is helping build a healthier, more sustainable Cambridge—one banana peel at a time.
