Two B.C. men in their 80s sentenced for child sex crimes

Two elderly men from B.C. were recently sentenced for serious sexual crimes against children. Brian Melicke Moore, 85, received an eight-year sentence for sexually interfering with 12 boys between 1976 and 1982, while William Lee Tate, 82, was sentenced to two years less a day for possessing over 60,000 child pornography images and videos. The court emphasized the severity of their offenses and the need for strong denunciation of such crimes, reflecting the high level of guilt associated with their actions. Both cases highlight the long-lasting impact of child sexual abuse and the judicial system’s commitment to accountability.
