Latest Offenders Keighley

Description

A man from Keighley has been given an extended sentence of 29 years for raping a child. 

Joshua Moore aged 32 of Buxton Street was found guilty by a jury of five child rapes, assault by penetration, sexual assault and making indecent images. 

He was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on 20 March to 25 years in jail and four on licence. He was made to sign the sex offenders register for life and given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order. 

Detective Constable Stuart Barrows of Bradford District’s Child Safeguarding Team said: 

“Moore is an extremely dangerous sexual predator who has shown no remorse throughout the case. 

“He has had to put his victim through a trial, where she has had to relive the ordeal again. 

“The actions of Moore are abhorrent and disgusting and whilst this significant sentence will never undo what’s happened, I hope it can provide some comfort to the young girl as she tries to rebuild her life. 

“Bradford District Safeguarding Team have specially trained officers who take reports of this type of offending seriously and sensitively. We will listen and support you throughout the process.”
