Former Secret Service Agent Gets 20 Years for Sexting While on Duty

After pleading guilty to sending obscene photos to minors.

A former Secret Service officer was hit with a 20-year prison sentence Thursday for sexting with minors, sometimes while working at the White House. Lee Robert Moore was fired after his arrest in November 2015. In March, he pleaded guilty to charges of enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity and attempting to send obscene images to a minor. Moore was caught after sending nude photos of himself to a police officer posing as a 14-year-old girl. Authorities later said he’d been engaging in similar communications with a 14-year-old girl in Texas and a 17-year-old in Missouri.  He faces a lifetime of supervised release after he finishes his sentence.
