Name: Matthew M. Moore
Case: United States v. Moore NMCCA 200300108
Date Of Conviction: January 10, 2006
Plea: Guilty
Charges: possessing child pornography (see others below)
Military Branch: U.S. Marine Corps
Listed In National Sex Offenders Registry? NO
Conviction of receipt and possession of child pornography and use of a computer website to entice a child to engage in sexual activity. On appeal, ONLY the conviction for receipt and possession of child pornography was set aside.
The charge, involving an effort to solicit children for sexual activity via a website posted on the Internet, was the most serious offense and had a negative impact in the community around Shaw Air Force Base.
The website generated a number of hostile e-mail responses and several complaints to law enforcement officials. The Chief of Police for Sumter, South Carolina, was “appalled” when she learned that a member of the United States Air Force had created the site. Thus, we hold that the CCA did not abuse its discretion in concluding that it could determine to its satisfaction that, absent any error, the adjudged sentence for the remaining offense would have been at least the severity of the sentence that the court approved on reassessment.
The U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals reassessed the sentence from a dishonorable discharge, confinement for 45 months, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and reduction to E-1 to a dishonorable discharge, confinement for 33 months, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and reduction to E-1.
On appeal:
Judge CRAWFORD delivered the opinion of the Court. Contrary to his pleas, Appellant was convicted of receiving and possessing child pornography, and misusing the Internet in an attempt to entice minors in violation of Article 134, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 934 (2000).
The convening authority approved the sentence of a dishonorable discharge, forty-five months of confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade.
