A man currently on parole for sexually assault was arrested and booked on the same charge after allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old girl in Texas.
According to KENS5, 34-year-old Marquise Anton Moore, a convicted sex offender, was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and was booked into Bexar County Jail, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Javier Salazar said the alleged incident occurred around 2:30 a.m.
Monday, Nov. 27. Moore started taking the mobile phones of everyone who was in the home where it happened after he was allegedly caught sexually assaulting the girl.Salazar said Moore then ingested a number of sleeping pills in a possible suicide attempt. Police officers were called after Moore fell asleep.
“Up until this morning, he was on parole for sexual assault,” Salazar said. “He just got out of prison in
September, is my understanding. This morning, we received a call at about 6:20 to a home in east Bexar County that this suspect was caught in the act of sexually assaulting a little girl, 10 years old.”Salazar described Moore as a “career criminal” who had a prior conviction for a sexual offense of a 15 or 16-year-old victim. He served two years out of a four-year sentence before being released.
Due to the age of the victim, no information was released about her, nor is it known if she is related to Moore.
