On October 6, 2010 investigators with the assistance of the School Safety Section applied for and received a warrant for
Troy Reid, 17, charged with various sexual assault and rape charges stemming from a sexual assault at Annapolis Hish School
seventeen year-old Troy Traon Reid. Reid was charged as an adult. The warrant was served at approximately 10 p.m. without incident. Reid is being held without bond at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center on the charges of:
1. Attempted 2nd Degree Rape
2. Sex Offense – 1st Degree
3. Sex Offense – 2nd Degree
4. Sodomy
5. Assault – 2nd Degree
6. Reckless Endangerment
7. False Imprisonment, and
8. Possession of a Dangerous Weapon with Intent to Injure.
Reid was identified through the investigative efforts of both the Sex Offense Unit and the School Safety Section. The investigation revealed that early on the morning of September 29, 2010, Reid led the victim from school property and walked her into a wooded area off Riva Road and across from the entrance to the Arundel Olympics Swim Center.
On a foot path in the woods, Reid made advances toward the victim, but was rebuked. The victim tried to run away, but Reid became angry and threw a large stick at the victim knocking her to the ground. Reid then held the victim on the ground and sexually assaulted her.
The victim returned to the school after the incident and it was later reported it to the School Resource Officer.

This shows how pathetic a school AHS is. A student rapes another student then his Facebook is flooded with comments of “FREE TROY” they’re basically trying to justify what he did wrong.
above reader… you can not judge the AHS Community as a whole based upon the actions of a few. You clearly have no substantial life to look at the Facebook page of students at such a “pathetic school”. with that said maybe you should do more research before you jump to conclusions. Troy is just getting the support of his family and friends, not that I agree with their actions or condone of sexual abuse whatsoever, but the support is admirable.
With that said get a life and never assume that you are better than others. That is the route to a lonely life well, once you find one.
What did you witness it happened? No one knows if these allegations are true or not. I supposed that these statements are intended to show support for the young man. Lets leave the judgement call to the pros. Social media is not exactly a court of law.
Oh okay. Lets go ahead and free Charlie Manson and Mark David Chapman too because they have the support of their family. If their family supports them it instantly makes them innocent of a crime.
Hahaha!!! No one said he was innocent, and what are you doing on his facebook??? You need to get a life. L.O.S.E.R.
Um no i have a big problem with this because think about the stories they just don’t add up, at the school she went around saying he didn’t do it that’s why she got beat up, and when she was approached she was supposedly raped on wensday but didn’t report the rape till friday, now because of that the rape kit would not come out correct expecially if the victim was a supposed virgin. That boy didn’t do it and you know its so stop running around commenting on something that you don’t know about expecially if the person was black why do you just assume that he did it.
$*$*$ FREE TROY $*$*$
we all know that he didnt do it and apparently there is something wrong with the girl. her mom needs to get her for leaving school early she is only a freshman so what was she doing out of class because last time i checked they dont get out of class early.
Are you serious? Why are the victims always attacked? Of course there are three sides to every story but these responses are a joke. What if it was YOUR daughter? You guys are a bunch of idiots! This is not the first time he was charged with this, HELLO, is there a pattern. This Troy person obviously has some issues. I mean look at him, he has to rape female because he can’t get them on his looks. Not to mention, look where he lives..this parents (if they can find his father) will not be able to make the bond. He’s going to get some public defender then he is be someone B&*#$ in jail. I hope they throw away the keys because if it was my daughter…let’s just say he better be glad it not!
Here are the facts. That we can see based on evidence.
1.)Some type of sexual action did happen, but this could be a kiss, it doesn’t have to be sexual intercourse.
2.)Why were they in the woods? If they hadn’t agreed on doing something or having sex, than why where they in the WOODS.
3.)Also, any student who currently attends Annapolis Senior High knows that their is an Advisor on every corner in every hallway of that school. So How did they get out of the school with out being stopped, Especially seeing as reports are saying that Mr. Reid grabbed the victim and dragged her outside. This is impossible to happen without getting caught by an advisor. So the victim must have consented to doing whatever they had planned to do in the woods.
4.)If the victim didn’t want to have sex why was she in the woods?
5.)Also Mr. Reid is being charged with Sodomy, which is any other type of Sexual intercourse other than vaginal, which means that if they did have sexually intercourse it would be either anal, or oral. In that case the victim has a choice in the process of oral sex. Also reports says tat Mr. Reid pinned the victim on the ground, which means that anal sex was an option but it doesn’t fit in the time frame that thetwo were missing from school.
6.) Where are the clothes that prove that the victim was in the woods because it rained the day before the alleged sexual assault happened, so it would be muddy or damp and their clothes would be dirty.
7.)What happened directly after the alleged sexual assualt. How did they get back in the school?
8.) Why didn’t the victim report them immediately once she returned to school. Why did she wait til 2 days later to report this.
9.) The police department needs to be charged with reckless endangerment for not notifying Annapolis Senior High of Mr. Reids previous arrest.
10.) I’m not saying Troy is innocent but he’s not guilty of all 8 charges against him. And the victim has to be twisting the story in some way. All I’m saying is use your common since the story just doesn’t add up And since I work for the District Court Of Maryland Serving as the Honorable Chief Judge Clyburn’s personal intern I have the judicial experience to back up my argument.
4.)If the victim didn’t want to have sex why was she in the woods?
Mr I work in Judge Clyburn office, are you crazy? If I leave school with you with the intentions of having sex and change my mind when we get there, is that grounds for rape? I can change my mind up until the last minute and it is still considered RAPE! Again this person (and I am using person lightly) has a history of this. No he was not convicted not yet away but charged with a similar crime in June. Yes the school should of been notified and he should of been getting home schooled just like the boys from North County.
8.) Why didn’t the victim report them immediately once she returned to school. Why did she wait til 2 days later to report this.
Have you been raped before? Do you know that some people have been raped and NEVER reported it because they are scared of retailiation? And look what happened to this girl, she got beat up by one of his friends.
Do some more research. I have a 17 yr old son and tell him all the time, NO means NO! Somebody should of told Troy!
Free Troy !
NOBODY KNOWS WAT HAPPEN BUT THEM N IF YALL WOULD GT YOUR FACTS STRIGHT THE FIRST GIRL SAID SHE LIED ABOUT BEING RAPED BECAUSE THE THOUGHT SHE WAS CARINIG HIS BABY IN SHE THOUGHT HER PARENTS WOULD PUT HER OUT N IF THEY WOULD UP DATE THEIR INFO THEY WOULD SHE THAT THE GURLS GRANDMOTHER ABUSED HER SHE WAS ON SUCIDE WATCH WHY B4 THIS HAPPENED ALSO IT WOULD SHOW THAT SHE SAID HE DIDNT RAPE HER…BUT LIKE I SAID DONT SPEEK ON WHAT YOU DONT KNOW JACK ABOUT!!!..N HAVE A NICE LIFE
I HAVE KNOW HIM MY WHOLE LIKE HES NOT A BAD PEARSON WAT SO EVER IN I JUST WANT HIM TO COME HOME N RAISE HIS SON!!
translation please! I could not understand one word of what was written in the above posts. If you cannot write in coherent english please do not post. You make yourself look very ignorant.

it seems like you up set why get so angry over something u have nothing no do with or maybe you just want 2 c him go 2 jail because he is black..because if he was white then all of the girls information woud b out..n you would b defending him …and heres your TRANSLATION YOU DONT KNOW ALL THE FACTS SO DONT SPEEK ON IT ..CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU HUNNY????
If the facts are out and it is not his fault, why is he still facing charges in Circuit Court for the earlier arrest and why is he still facing charges for this arrest. It seems that your anger might be better directed to the two separate police departments who charged him and the state’s attorney who is prosecuting him.
I certainly hope the latter post is not an example of the fine education received in AA Co public schools. Pathetic!
ALL YALL ARE RACIE..AND FREE TROY REID HAHAHAHAHAH
What’s a “racie”…must be a synonym for a graduate of AHS who, apparently, supports sex offenders. Troy is on a steady path towards being a career criminal.
Annapolis is not a bad city, nor his AHS a bad school — it is the choices made by the youth today that are bad.
I believe that he’s innocent! & i really dont care if yall disagree with me , its my opinion. half of yall commenting dont really know him. i’m close to him and i think he wouldnt do such a thing like this , likeeee reallyyy this girl has a history on her too! she is labeled as a “freak” in school also she is labeled as a “crazy person” too. and i think this a race issue too. Im just gonna keep him and his family in prayers!!!!!
FREE TROY WE LOVE YOU !
@ BCPD: %$&# YOU, you on YOUR way to being a career criminal. FREE TROY ,

What a world we live in… Well, not me anymore; I moved away. Good luck to all the parents of truly good kids in AACPS. And I don’t mean the ones whose kids get arrested by the “racie” folk and are willing to help their offspring make excuses. As an aside, trust me, these kids have had so much practice making excuses to authority figures in the schools, and getting away with it, that the little ones are quite capable of coming up with their own excuses without help.
If you all want things to change, stop allowing the truly little kids in elementary school to think that any cockamamie excuse will fly. I’m not advocating severe punishment for very young children. I’m merely suggesting that if you call them out when they put forward these eye-roll inducing excuses, you’ll see much less of it when they graduate to real crime as adolescent.
Heck, you might even head off a large portion of these “graduations” if they learn early on that bad behavior won’t be ignored for fear of being labeled racie by the miscreant’s “support structure”.
To the Son Mother:
Stay in school or find a tutor. Maybe proofread before posting..And you have a child by a rapist. I hope that you teach your son not to be like his dad. Single parent, no job, rapist by 17 yr old, GREAT!
you guys are talking about ‘oh, don’t look down on AHS as a whole because of this one incident’, yet you are the same people looking at meade with disdain. At Meade, nothing like this would have happened. My prayers and condolences go towards both victims and their families.
As far as everyboday saying ‘Free Troy’ and ‘Troy ain’t do it’ and ‘this is racist’, he raped those poor girls, worked at the boys and girls club with little girls, and is currently being indicted for this. If the perpertrator was caucasian instead of African-American, I hope, pray and believe they would get the same treatment.
I Just Know He Did It * Its Just Crazy Cause He Must Have Been That DESPERATE To Have Raped Another Student – His Last Rape Charge Shows It All ! All Of You NEED To Look At It If It Was YOUR Son Or Daughter Being Raped . H E L L O ! I Mean It Just States It All He A Danger To Be Around & Deserves What He Gets ! The Girl Can Be Wrong In A WayBut No Means NO – He WANTED It & Now Look Where He At – & All That Free Troy Shit Dnt Mean A Damn Thing , Cause Aint NOBODY Putting Up With That Dirty Shit & He Getting Whats Coming At Him *
He Gone Get What He Deserves !
So how come Troy beat all the charges and the girls admitted to lying ?
