Indiana Man Molested 10-year-old Girl and Threatened to Brutally “Whoop” Her if She Ever Revealed Abuse

A man from Fort Wayne, Indiana, who was found guilty of sexually assaulting a girl who was 10 years old was given a sentence of 55 years in jail on Monday.

According to the documents filed in the court, Melvin Moore made a threat to “whoop” the victim if she ever disclosed more information about the assault.

The girl allegedly disclosed to the authorities two distinct instances in which Moore sexually abused her, as stated in the appropriate court filings. Investigators were told by the child that the incident took place over the summer break from school.

Last month, following a trial that lasted for three days, the jury decided that Moore was convicted of two charges of child molestation.
