Former teacher, 86, to remain in prison on child sex offence appeal

An 86-year-old British Columbia man, Brian Melicke Moore, convicted of historical sexual crimes against young boys, will remain in prison while awaiting the outcome of his appeal.

Moore, who received an eight-year sentence for multiple counts of indecent assault, is also facing civil lawsuits related to his crimes. His health issues were noted, but the court prioritized public interest in enforcing his sentence.
