Tucker Reed

As of January 2020, Reed faces new charges of supplying contraband and unlawfully possessing heroin in jail.

Reed first gained notoriety as an opponent of gendered violence (specifically sexual abuse against women) when she published the name of her alleged rapist to a blog. According to Reed’s own blog, in 2013 the USC Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards office deemed “the burden of proof was not reached to find that a violation of the Student Conduct Code occurred.” The case was later rejected by the LAPD, a private investigator, and the LA District Attorney. Reed was found liable of defamation in a counter-suit. Australian criminologist and feminist Anastasia Powell identified Reed in 2015 as one of several women who used the internet to engage in what would traditionally be deemed "vigilante" behavior in "resistance to rape culture" in Rape Justice: Beyond the Criminal Law.

As of September 5, 2018, Reed faces a new charge of murder atop felony counts of first- and second- degree manslaughter of her uncle, Moore based on “some new evidence” that surfaced over the past couple of months, according to Deputy District Attorney who is prosecuting the case with District Attorney Beth Heckert.

In early 2016, she worked as a reporter for The Grants Pass Daily Courier before quitting in the spring.

On July 26, 2016, Reed was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of her 63 year old maternal uncle, Shane Patrick Moore; this occurred at his parents' home in Applegate, Oregon . On July 29, 2016 Reed was indicted on charges of first and second degree manslaughter by a grand jury. Reed's bail was set at $200,000. When approached by the press, Reed's mother, Kelly Moore, said her daughter acted in self-defense against the uncle, who had been threatening Reed and members of the family and who was under specific court order to stay away from his niece after assaulting her in 2015.

Amber House was a finalist for the 2014 Oregon Book Award for Young Adult Literature, and was selected for the Texas Library Association's 2014 TAYSHAS List. Reed acted as narrator of the audiobook edition of Amber House and its sequel Neverwas, which was released on January 7, 2014. Reed is also co-author of the series' forthcoming titles Ever Shall and Otherwhen.

In September 2013, Reed spoke out as a proponent of "mandatory exit surveys" at college campuses, designed to better monitor the efficacy of policies and programs regarding student safety. Such surveys would, according to Reed, prevent internal corruption and dismissal of valid student claims because they would create an external reference monitoring whether colleges remain in compliance with the Clery Act and their own safety policies. Senator Claire McCaskill developed the Campus Accountability and Safety Act in 2015 using many of the suggestions Reed advocated for on HuffPost Live and in various publications.

In 2013, Reed aided students at multiple institutions in filing Office for Civil Rights complaints against their colleges. In September 2013, Reed was recognized for her activism by the Veteran Feminists of America when she was awarded the Lucy Burns Challenger Award at the organization's 20th anniversary celebration. Reed received her honor alongside feminist icons such as attorney Gloria Allred, singer-songwriter June Millington and Grammy Award-winner Helen Reddy.

Reed, along with her mother and younger sister Larkin, co-authored Amber House, the first installment of the Amber House trilogy, which was released by Scholastic's Arthur A. Levine Books imprint on October 1, 2012. Amber House received a positive critical reception, with Publishers Weekly praising the book's "intricate plot" and originality in a starred review, dubbing the story "rich, strange, and utterly fascinating." Kirkus Reviews singled out the book's heroine as being a "strong, admirable character" for young female readers, specifically contrasting her with Bella Swan from the Twilight franchise.

Since late 2012, Reed has blogged for xoJane.com and the Huffington Post, and written for Cosmopolitan magazine.

Reed attended the University of Southern California, where she studied broadcast journalism, theatre and cinema. She was a reporter and assistant editor for the university's student newspaper, the Daily Trojan, in 2010.

In 2009, at age 19, Reed persuaded her mother to collaborate on a novel. Reed’s sister Larkin was later included in the collaboration as well. In 2011, the trio negotiated and received a reported six-figure financial deal with the Arthur A. Levine imprint of Scholastic Press for the North American rights to their planned Amber House Trilogy.
