Former Probation Officer Indicted

POSTED: 2:34 pm EDT August 30, 2004


EATON, Ohio -- A Preble County grand jury indicted a former probation officer
with two counts of sexual battery after he was accused of having sexual
relations with a 17-year-old under his control.

In May 2004, Eaton police detectives, along with a prosecutor from the Preble
County Common Pleas Court launched an investigation into allegations of sexual
misconduct by a public official. Authorities said they launched an
investigation against Douglas E. Moore, 32, of Eaton who was a probation
officer with the Preble County Juvenile Court.

According to detectives, the victim, a male teen, at the time of the alleged
violation had been placed under the supervision of Moore while on probation.
Police said the alleged offenses happened in May or June 2000.


Investigators said during the investigation, a search warrant was conducted of
Moore's residence and a computer was seized. The computer is currently being
analyzed by forensic investigators at the Miami Valley Crime Lab and further
charges may be considered.

Moore resigned his position with the Preble County Juvenile Court on Aug. 3,
2004.


"The gravest abuse of power - and the gravest threats to personal liberty and
security - are those in which the very individuals to whom we look for the
preservation of law and order turn out to be the predators."
