Grand Prairie man sentenced to 30 years in prison for child pornography conviction

Moore, who was convicted by a federal jury in Dallas in March on one count of transporting and shipping child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography, was sentenced June 26 by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor to a total of 360 months (30 years) in prison, announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas. Judge O’Connor also ntencesed Moore, 45, of Grand Prairie, Texas, to serve a lifetime of supervised release.
In September 2005, Moore traveled to Ottawa, Canada, with a laptop computer that contained a total of 13 movie files containing child pornography. In addition, the computer had adult pornography and evidence-eliminating software called “History Kill” and “Spyware” software.
Later, a disk containing child pornography belonging to Moore was given to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials by Moore’s family. The disk contained adult pornography, child pornography movies and still images.
This case was a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims.
