Tyrone Moore
Claims to fame: Pastor, Full Word Ministries, North Charleston, South Carolina; husband; father of four; repeat child molester
Moral apex: Convicted (on two counts of committing a lewd act upon a minor) after a trial for fondling two boys, 12 and 13, repeatedly between 2004 and 2006. This time.
“This” time? This wasn’t his first offense — and we doubt it will be his last.
Sentence: The max: 30 years (15 years for each count).
Divine justice: Shortly after Moore’s arrest in 2006, the once 1,000-member-strong Full Word Ministries was evicted after defaulting on its mortgage, and its property foreclosed. The church finally shut down once and for all in July, 2009.
Memorable quote:
“He has put his faith in the hands of God, and he has been continuously prayerful that when his day of justice comes, he will be vindicated.”— Moore’s attorney, Eduardo Curry

Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Moore:
The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
— Joel 1:17-18
