North Charleston Police Charge Enigmatic Pastor

North Charleston, South Carolina

"She was only 11. She'd been molested by a man who taught her to sing in the church choir. Her mother pleaded with a judge to lock him up. He will do it again, the mother warned.

Tyrone Moore did his second spell in prison - nine years, to be exact - and emerged as a passionate, self-styled preacher of the gospel.
He soon had a church in North Charleston and a family of his own. He moved into a $193,000 home, drove a Mercedes and watched his congregation grow to more than 1,000 people.
But authorities say Moore couldn't escape his demons and desires."
