26-year-old cop found with ‘intoxicated’ underage girl in his home, Florida police say

A liaison arranged on a mobile app ended with one person hospitalized and another in jail, after it was discovered the coupling involved a 26-year-old cop and a juvenile, according to investigators in the Florida Panhandle.

The juvenile was hospitalized after officers realized she was intoxicated, the Tallahassee Police Department said in a news release.

As for the suspect, Danny Moore was arrested and quickly fired, police said.

Around 6:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 23, Tallahassee police were sent to investigate reports of “a suspected intoxicated juvenile” at the Jackson Square Apartments.

“Upon arrival, officers met with an adult male who advised the juvenile, a young teenage girl, was inside his apartment. The man, who provided his name, but a false age and place of employment, was quickly detained without incident,” police said.

“Additional responding officers located the intoxicated juvenile inside the apartment, and she was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment and to ensure her safety.”

Investigators with the Special Victims Unit discovered Moore had been a Tallahassee police officer since July 2023, officials said.

“A thorough investigation revealed Moore and the juvenile met on a mobile application and arranged to meet in a shopping center parking lot,” police said. “Moore drove the juvenile to a nearby liquor store to purchase alcohol before arriving at his apartment where they engaged in sexual activity.”

He has been charged with:

• Lewd and lascivious battery
• Lewd and lascivious molestation
• Lewd and lascivious conduct
• Contributing to the delinquency of a minor

“We acted swiftly to terminate Officer Moore, and we will continue to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident,” Tallahassee Chief of Police Lawrence Revell said in the release.
