Rev. John Moore, 52
Colorado Springs, CO, United States:
Pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a female parishioner, 15. Normally, the sentence for sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust is a crime that carries up to 12 years in prison. Because of the victim's family's insistence, the sexual predator will likely serve no more than 60 days in jail. Moore admitted to beginning the assault when the girl was 15, starting by fondling her and eventually having intercourse in the church basement after Sunday Services. The assaults continued for about a year.
