That's why they call it Rehomo.
Public... Hanging...
That is all
Another FB friend of Jim Ireton's.
That 17 year old boy new what he was doing so he shouldn't be considered an innocent victim. I'm sure they met on Craigs List or somewhere.
If it has been a few months later and the 17 year old was now an 18 year old, could the said "child" have been charged with prostitution? And, if this Moore was a registered sex offender, what did people expect? You cannot rehabilitate these people. He should have been in jail.
