Secret Service Officer Lands Behind Bars for Sickening Crime

A Church Hill, Maryland resident has been convicted in federal court for his heinous crimes against a minor. Lee Robert Moore, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity and one count of attempting to transfer obscene materials to a minor.

According to the investigation, Moore maintained a profile on the social media application ‘Meet24,’ where he exchanged digital images and voice messages with an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old girl. The online chats between Moore and the undercover officer were sexual in nature, and on several occasions, Moore sent pictures of himself, including one sexually explicit image.

Law enforcement discovered that Moore had communicated with a minor in Florida, sending sexually explicit images of himself and enticing the minor to send sexually explicit photos of herself. Moore also engaged in the same type of behavior with a 14-year-old girl in Texas and another 17-year-old girl in Missouri.

Moore was employed by the U.S. Secret Service-Uniformed Division and was assigned to the White House at the time of his arrest on Nov. 9, 2015. He has since been terminated from his Secret Service position and has been in custody since his arrest.

The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Delaware Child Predator Task Force. Trial Attorney Austin M. Berry of the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Corey Steinberg of the Southern District of Florida are prosecuting the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, 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 to identify and rescue victims.
