Investigators conducted a comprehensive digital investigation which resulted in the execution of a search warrant on Perry Cemetery Rd on 02/13/2026.
Moore was not arrested at the time. Once investigators received the digital evidence from Moore’s devices, warrants were issued for Moore for 9 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Moore was reported missing by several online/social media entities when in fact he was in hiding. Moore was located by Henry Co. Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division investigators on 02/23/2026 in the Dollar Store in Dover, TN. and was arrested without incident.
The suspect was booked into Henry County Corrections with a bond set by Judge Chad Cox at $200,000. Court proceedings are pending. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
