Sex offender pleads guilty to rape, drug charges

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — A registered sex offender has pleaded guilty to charges that he had sex with a 15-year-old girl and supplied her with methamphetamine last year.


The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin reports (http://goo.gl/FRv9sx ) 32-year-old Tyler P. Judd of Waitsburg pleaded guilty Monday to third-degree rape of a child and distribution of a controlled substance to a person under age 18. As part of a plea agreement, two additional charges were dropped.

Police say Judd told them in November he had sex with the teen about 10 times at a Walla Walla residence and supplied her with meth.

The girl corroborated Judd's account in a separate interview, saying she started having sex with Judd around August.

Records show Judd was convicted of child rape in 2003 and other crimes since 1999.
