While the release or federal court documents do not specify what illicit acts were allegedly conducted in Fiji, the release does insinuate the crime involves a child, stating the arrest was a part of Project Safe Childhood.
"This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse," the release stated.
Moore was ordered to remain in custody of the United States Marshals Service, according to the release.
