He is now charged with sexual assault of a child, distribution of child pornography, and first-degree criminal sexual conduct in Alabama, where he lives as well as eight felony charges in Michigan, where his mother resides and where some of the abuse took place. Between 20, Moore reportedly targeted his three nieces while their mother was at work. It’s not immediately clear how the video wound up online to begin with, but according to AL.com, Alabama authorities have arrested its creator, Germaine Moore, 44, who turned himself in on Monday after the video went viral and generated a barrage of media attention. “Anyone who opens that link, knowing that it contains images of child pornography, would be guilty of possession of that child pornography.” “Someone who puts a link containing child pornography online, emails that link or sends that link in any fashion, electronically or otherwise, can be charged with the distribution of child pornography,” Michael Bachner, a former prosecutor and current white-collar criminal defense lawyer at New York City firm Bachner & Associates, tells the Daily Dot. Unfortunately, anyone who forwarded the content may now find themselves inadvertently implicated in smut distribution. According to BuzzFeed News, these armchair detectives sought to unmask the man in the video, which depicts an adult forcing a young girl into fellatio. This is an important lesson to note for the thousands of Facebook Messenger users who, in recent days, received a link to child pornography in their inboxes and, rather than alerting the authorities, passed it on.
Committing a crime to catch a criminal does not exonerate the original crime.
