Florida cop arrested for intoxicating and 'fooling around' with underage girl

A cop was arrested in Florida for allegedly getting an underage girl drunk and then "fooling around" with the teen in his apartment. The investigators found the suspect Danny Moore in his home with the girl, according to the New York Post.

According to the Tallahassee Police Department , the 26-year-old former police officer allegedly met the underage girl on an app where they arranged to meet in a shopping center parking lot.

Moore then bought her booze at a nearby liquor store before taking the minor to his apartment and engaging in sexual activity , police said.

Tallahassee Police Department arrested Moore and later discovered he was a police officer within their own department. Moore was immediately terminated following the incident.

Moore provided officers with his name but a false age and occupation before admitting that the teenage girl was inside his apartment, according to police. Officers then located the intoxicated minor and took her to a local hospital for treatment.

Moore was charged with lewd and lascivious battery, lewd and lascivious molestation, lewd and lascivious conduct, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

“The men and women who protect and serve our community are held to the highest standard of the law,” police chief Lawrence Revell said. “Officer misconduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” he added. “Every one of our officers took an oath to protect this community, and every one of them will be held accountable for any actions that do not uphold TPD’s core values, department policies, and Florida Statutes.”
