An ex-con spent 20 years in jail for molesting elderly women — and was then released to live in an old-age home!

"It was like throwing the fox in the hen house,” said Charles P. Ewing, an attorney who specializes in studying sex offenders.
Cops say that Moore entered the room of his elderly victim around midnight on Jan. 3, 2017 — pulling off the woman's blanket and molesting her after she told him to leave "multiple times." He had been moved to the facility after serving a prison term at the Fishkill Correctional Facility. He had been caught at NYC's Beth Israel Medical Center while molesting a semi-conscious 93-year-old woman.

He had been moved to the facility after serving a prison term at the Fishkill Correctional Facility. He had been caught at NYC's Beth Israel Medical Center while molesting a semi-conscious 93-year-old woman.
Before that attack, however, Moore served four years in prison for attacking a 79-year-old woman in another hospital. The ex-con is now awaiting trial before the Buffalo City Court. He's facing charges of sexual abuse of a person incapable of giving consent, along with endangering the welfare of a physically disabled person.
