LEBANON, Va. (WJHL) — A Lebanon, Virginia man was found guilty of multiple child sex crimes, including aggravated sexual battery, on Thursday.

As reported by the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office in Russell County, 54-year-old David Walter Moore III has been convicted of the charges against him.

  • Object sexual penetration (10 counts)
  • Aggravated sexual battery (one count)
  • Indecent liberties of a child (one count)

The Commonwealth presented evidence during a jury trial that Moore sexually abused a child multiple times for two years.

“We are thankful that the jury delivered the appropriate verdict and held the defendant accountable for these atrocious and unjust acts against an innocent child,” stated Commonwealth Attorney Zack Stoots in the announcement. “Our office intends to request that the court impose several life sentences on the defendant.”

The Russell County Sheriff’s Office, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Highlands Children’s Advocacy Center investigated the case.

“The collaboration among various law enforcement bodies was crucial in the exhaustive investigation of this case,” Stoots remarked. “The combined efforts of law enforcement, including the forensic interview carried out by the Highlands Children’s Advocacy Center, played a vital role in the case’s resolution. We are grateful for the support of the Washington County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and the contributions from the Russell County Victim Witness Assistance Program.”

Moore’s sentencing is set to take place Jan. 8 at 1 p.m.
