Sex Predator Sentenced to 4 Years
A Washington D.C. man has been sentenced to four years in prison for his role in a heinous crime that left a young woman shaken. Ronnie Moore, 48, was found guilty of assault with intent to commit first-degree sexual abuse and felony threats.
According to court documents, the crime took place on March 10, 2012, when Moore pulled up to a bus stop on Branch and Pennsylvania Avenues SE in his car. He offered the 19-year-old victim a ride, claiming to know her mother, and she accepted. However, once inside the vehicle, Moore began to make unwanted advances, threatening to kill her if she didn’t comply.
The victim, who managed to escape the car, reported the incident to the authorities. Moore was later identified and arrested on June 20, 2012, after being spotted at a local supermarket. He has since been convicted and sentenced to four years in prison, with an additional 10 years of supervised release upon his release.
In addition to his prison sentence, Moore must also register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. The victim, who has not been named, was able to escape the situation thanks to her bravery and quick thinking. Her actions have undoubtedly saved countless other women from suffering a similar fate at the hands of Moore.
U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. praised the work of the investigators and prosecutors who handled the case, saying: ‘The bravery and resilience of the victim in this case is truly remarkable. We are committed to protecting the citizens of this city and bringing those who would do harm to justice.’
The sentence is a testament to the commitment of law enforcement and the justice system to protecting women from violent crimes. It is a reminder that such actions will not be tolerated and that perpetrators will be held accountable for their actions. Ronnie Moore’s sentence serves as a warning to others who would seek to harm innocent women.
